The University of Maastricht and EBU stand up for the accessibility of art works

Youth
Dream it Do It! – Empowering youth workers across Europe
Young people with visual impairments from all over Europe have met in Berlin to learn about project management and development. From 28 September to 6 October, the German Federation of the Blind and Partially Sighted (DBSV) hosted a one-week training course for youth workers under the title “Dream it Do it!”.
Culture
Tactile Illustrated Books in France.
Les Doigts Qui Rêvent, (Dreaming Fingers) was born in 1993 due to the total lack of access to TiBs (Tactile Illustrated Books) for visually impaired children in France.

MY CINEMA WITHOUT IMAGE (MON CINEMA SANS IMAGE©)
Throughout the world, in cinemas and on TV, more and more films are offered with audiodescription, aimed at a visually impaired audience.
However, these films remain films made 'by' the sighted 'for' the sighted, according to criteria they have defined.
MY CINEMA WITHOUT IMAGE reverses the situation.
