Hello Marjo,
Thank you so much for the agenda. We are happy with the content of it, but we would appreciate it very much if you please could change the scheduled time for the presentation about the teaching material “Learning braille – SHORT AND SWEET”. In the agenda it is scheduled at 15.30 the first day, but we would like you to put it immediately before the discussion regarding how to conduct remote teaching of Braille. The reason for this is that our teaching material is designed for self-study (remote learning) and fits perfectly into the discussion about remote teaching. In the agenda this may simply be done by moving the presentation at 15.30 to 14.00, and then shift the discussion, the coffee break and the subsequent presentation by 20 minutes. I am sorry for the complications this causes.
I am also sorry that I in the previous mails have forgotten to tell you who the Norwegian speakers are. Well, here is the information:
- The presentation about the teaching material (day one) is held by Hans Anton Ålien and Ida Sųdahl Utne.
- The presentation at 10.30 (day two) “The hymn book for everyone”, is held by Tanita Thomassen.
- The updates at 10.55 (day two) about the music braille put into production in Norway, is held by Nina Tveter and Hans Anton Ålien.
- The presentation at 11.10 (day two) “Fonts for presenting braille to sighted people”, is held by Lars Bjųrndal. He says he will only need 15 minutes.
I am aware of the efforts our wished changes cause, and apologize one more time for asking you to do it.
Best regards,
Nina Tveter

Hello Jesper and all!
Thank you all for your messages and information and I am sorry for the delay to keep you updated!
The meeting will take place at IIRIS centre. We were looking for all the possibilities, and decided to keep the dinner at Klaus K. There is a short walk from the hotel to Central Railway Station where you can take metro straight to the Itäkeskus. From there you have a short walk to IIRIS. If needed, we can arrange transportation from the hotel to IIRIS, and there will also be some from the Finnish committee to accommodate at Klaus K who can guide you. Unfortunately there are not so many hotels at a reasonable distance. I am sorry for the inconvenience!
I hope I can send you the draft program soon. Is it OK if we start on the 9th October at 10 am and end the meeting on 10th October around 2.15-2.30 pm.
Best regards,
Marjo

Dear All.
Here is what we probably will settle on:
- Arrival in Helsinki from 15.30 – 19.30, so that we can start as early as possible.
-
Daparture on the 10th at 17:00 from Helsinki Airport.
Accommodation:
At least the part of the contingent from DaB, will stay at Klaus K, unless Hotel Rantapuisto which is closer to the IRIS center, where the meeting Venue is still held, becomes available?
When do you plan to sent out further information.
As we have not received any further indication as for start and finishing time, we hope that the above does not cause changes to the program.
We look forward to receiving the program and other materials as soon as possible.
Best regards, Jesper.

Dear all.
The time
For our next Nordic meeting is rapidly approaching.
We have the following items which we would like to suggest.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
