- More Braille: More Empowerment – A Live Virtual Conversation (Episode 78)
The official launch of the ICEVI–WBU Global Braille Literacy Campaign
On behalf of the International Council for the Education of People with Visual Impairment (ICEVI) and the World Blind Union (WBU), we are pleased to mark the official launch of the ICEVI–WBU Global Braille Literacy Campaign: More Braille, More Empowerment.
The campaign champions braille as a foundation for literacy, learning, independence, and empowerment.
The launch centres on a lively panel discussion with internationally recognised braille experts, exploring current and emerging topics in braille literacy across inclusive school, work, and community contexts.
The campaign is open to everyone worldwide who shares a commitment to inclusive literacy and empowerment including policy makers, educators, families, advocates, researchers, organisations committed to inclusive literacy and the right to braille … and, most importantly of all, braille users!
As part of the broader campaign launch, ICEVI and WBU have also released More Braille: More Empowerment – Voices Advancing Braille Worldwide, a campaign video featuring messages from members of the global campaign Steering Committee and campaign sponsors, highlighting their shared commitment to advancing the right to braille literacy worldwide.
Join the global movement: be part of a worldwide call to action to ensure braille remains a living, evolving, and empowering literacy medium for generations to come.
