What is Braille, and how has it helped break down barriers? How was education made accessible for people with special visual needs in Luxembourg? During the congress, you are invited to explore our two-part exhibition: “200 Years of Braille – A History You Can Touch” and “Luxembourg’s Educational Journey for People with Special Visual Needs.”
200 Years of Braille: A History You Can Touch
Learn about the origins, development, and techniques of writing and reading Braille, as well as how it is taught. Explore historical objects and discover how Braille literacy worked in the past and how it is taught today.
Luxembourg’s Educational Journey for People with Special Visual Needs
Historical photographs trace the story of Luxembourg’s first institute for people with special visual needs. What made the teaching there unique? How did the institute endure the Second World War? And how did inclusive education evolve over the years? Follow this visual journey from Berburg around 1900 to the present day.
