The local project “Terra Mirabilis: Tourist Trails for Visually Impaired Young People”, developed by Babilon Travel NGO and funded by the City Hall and the City Council Cluj-Napoca, comes to an end.
The project proposed and achieved three main goals:
- to identify a tourist route in the historic center of Cluj-Napoca, adapted to the needs of visually impaired people;
- to train a group of volunteers to be able to safely accompany persons or groups of persons with visual disabilities on the identified tourist trail;
- to document the tourist route through tourist guides in large fonts, both printed and digital format (PDF and MP3), in Romanian and English, written taking into account the specificities and needs of young people with visual impairments.
