 Local Multiplier Event / Dissemination

 The project “Accessible Travel Solutions for Visually Impaired Persons” (ATS4VIP) is part of the Erasmus + KA2 Innovation – Adult Education program.

Travel by people with disabilities, also known as “accessible travel”, is on the rise. The tourism industry is adapting to the special needs of travelers with disabilities, offering more and more accessible services.

The main objective of the ATS4VIP project is the development of open educational solutions related to barrier-free tourism and the movement of visually impaired people locally and abroad, solutions designed to make travel accessible and safe. The aim of the AST4VIP project is to improve the mobility and quality of life of visually impaired/blind people across Europe.

To meet the proposed objectives, three project management meetings were implemented in Northern Macedonia, Romania and Spain, a training course in Northern Macedonia and this local multiplier-dissemination event, held in each partner country.

The project partners are:

• Asociatia Babilon Travel, Romania;
• Lifelong Learning Network, Northern Macedonia;
• IT Solutions for All, Spain.

Associated partner:

• Special High School for the Visually Impaired Cluj-Napoca, Romania.

The local multiplier-dissemination event that takes place in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, at the Special High School for Visually Impaired, on September 15, 2021, at 12:00 PM, makes a presentation of the three intellectual products, results of the project:

1. Creating a methodological framework for accessible and safe travel for the visually impaired;
2. Creating an open educational platform for accessible and safe travel for the visually impaired (https://www.atsvip.eu);
3. A series of public awareness campaigns for accessibility, safety and security during the travel of visually impaired people.
