Are you currently looking for information related to visual impairment? 💻 For many years, our organisation has been compiling useful links for #blind and #PartiallySighted persons. You will find them available in the focus section on our website: tinyurl.com/2s33vdcs
From December 2023 to the end of February 2024, the European Blind Union #braille Working Group conducted a survey of Braille Display Usage and Braille Display Users' Expectations. 💻 You can find its results on our livingbraille.eu forum: tinyurl.com/2p8rk8we
Would you like to know more about EBU’s National Members? 👉 You will find their contact details, as well as additional information, in the focus section on our website: tinyurl.com/mt465uu8
In the same way, this allows us to create ties between persons with visual impairment across Europe, thus building a community eager to assess institutions, non-profit organisations and other stakeholders on #accessibility issues.
Cooperation and solidarity are key values which reside at the heart of the European Blind Union. Thanks to the constant networking between organisations, our members share good practices to keep working towards #inclusion of visually impaired persons in their countries.
How can we best ensure #PartiallySighted persons' right to rehabilitation? Years ago, we produced a toolkit containing best practices for implementing standards in Low Vision services. 👉 Find the source available at: tinyurl.com/mwds5esb
💼 How can we ensure the equal right to work for #VisuallyImpaired people? Learn more about how to best promote #inclusion in the labour market with EBU's Guidelines on reasonable accomodation. 👉 You will find the source available on our website: tinyurl.com/as5dmks4

We are at the @EU_Commission today attending the European Day of Persons with Disabilities.
We welcome the new @EU_Commission proposal extending the future #EUDisabilityCard and the EU #Parking Card to "third-country nationals": non-EU citizens that reside in the EU. This excellent initiative, if successful, meets one of our demands! Read: eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/…

It is estimated that 15% of Europeans have a disability. In the EU, not all countries inquire about disability in their census, and those that do use different methods. On #WorldStatisticsDay, we stress the importance of collecting and harmonising disability-disaggregated data.
