All,

Here are some webinars pertaining to a survey that is connected to the global campaign referenced in our Resolution 2026-15. Please help spread the word. WBU-ICEVI want as many individuals as possible to take these surveys. The webinars will explain more about the project, what information they’re trying to gather, and why the surveys are important.

Dear Colleagues,

We are delighted to announce that members of Focus Area 3 (Research) are ready to launch the Global Braille Survey. This is an important milestone in our joint ICEVI-WBU braille literacy campaign, More Braille: More Empowerment.

The survey represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to build a comprehensive understanding of the global braille landscape. We aim to gather robust evidence that will inform future advocacy, policy, funding, teacher preparation, and braille literacy initiatives around the world.

To officially launch the survey, the Braillists Foundation is hosting two live online webinars. We invite you to register to attend one of the webinars and to share the attached flyer throughout your personal and professional networks.

Registration:  <http://www.braillists.org/survey> www.braillists.org/survey

Webinar 1 - Friday 7 August
11:00 am GMT / 7:00 am Eastern Daylight Time (EDT)

Webinar 2 (Repeat Session) - Tuesday 11 August
12:01 am GMT / Monday 10 August, 8:00 pm Eastern Daylight Time (EDT)

To accommodate participants from different time zones, the webinar will be presented twice. You only need to attend one session. When you register, you will automatically receive Zoom links for both webinars and may join whichever session is most convenient.

Spanish translation is currently being organised.

Following the webinar, the survey links will be distributed widely, and we hope as many people as possible will participate. The strength of this research depends on broad international participation from people who read braille, families, teachers and professionals, and braille transcribers.

Thank you for your continued commitment and support.

With warm regards,

Frances Gentle

Co-Chair, Steering Committee
