by Jesper Bentil Holten 13 Sep '24

13 Sep '24

Dear all. The time For our next Nordic meeting is rapidly approaching. We have the following items which we would like to suggest. 1. Hopefully last years working group regarding Braille and STEM education will have some points to share during the meeting, as they have planned a workshop before the Nordic meeting commences. 2. As you may remember Danish Braille code has undergone a large revision, and as a consequence we have at the various organisations that provide Braille Literacy courses, revised our instruction materials. We would like to share some of the various thoughts and ideas that have been put into this work, in regards to teaching of Braille for Adults. 3. We would further like to have a discussion regarding how to conduct remote teaching of Braille. As part of our planning of the visit to Finland, we would like, as soon as at all possible to know the start time of our meeting on the 9th. Also we plan to leave on the 10th in the late afternoon. We most likely will arrive on the 8th of October in the late afternoon or early evening conditional to flight schedule and availability. Best regards, Jesper.

Again dear friends. I feel that in view of our discussions and agreeing on the usefulness between Nordic meetings to undertak the work, we have commonly agreed on, including 8 dot braille, that we ought to at least through zoom get a discussion going on this topic before we meetin in Finland. To my recollection we are at least two persons who at indicated interest, but wasnt there some more indications on this topic at least at the recent joint meetting? So express yourselfves and I will Be ready to set up a Zoom meeting subsequently. Warm regards John Med venlig hilsen John Heilbrunn for Øjenhøjde 23 40 92 18

Hello all, at first, I want to thank Hjalti, Ásdís and all your colleagues for hosting a very interesting meeting in October! Because of the latest news, I'm worried about you all in Iceland and I hope you all the best. In the meeting was decided to have the next meeting in Helsinki, Finland. We discussed already the suitable date: the meeting will be held on 9th-10th October 2024. Save the date! There are some themes already that you were interested to talk about in the next meeting. The topics are: Artificial Intelligence and Braille 8-dot Braille Braille Notes Of course we can talk about some other topics also, you can send the topics you want to discuss about, or you want to have a presentation, to the address braille(a)celia.fi<mailto:braille@celia.fi>.
