AHVIIT attends AUTONOMIA EXPO 2008 in Athens
Autonomia Expo constitutes the largest exhibition of products and services for disability, health, rehabilitation, special education, technology and independent living in Greece, also attracting participation from European providers. It also encompasses disability seminars and cultural events. In reality, it is a celebration of disability as difference in living terms, of accessible ways of living, of aesthetics and culture.
e-ISOTIS was proud to be offered the opportunity to attend the event and have a stand to disseminate the AVHIIT ACCESS project.
Within our stand, e-ISOTIS demonstrated the T3 tactile to all people who visited our stand and talked attendees through the steps of the learning process and also held discussions on how the benefits for this are unlimited. Differing topics will eventually be developed for training and this will provide greater employment opportunities for people with visual impairments.
In addition, we also demonstrated the AHVIIT DVD, which was recently released. This was a great tool and helped carers and members of organisations who assist blind people understand more the purpose of the project, and asked for further details to be sent to them.
Overall the project was really welcomed and we gained some additional contacts who will prove to be very valuable in the future for AHVIIT ACCESS.
