Dear all! We are hereby inviting you to this year’s Annual Nordic Braille Authorities Meeting. Dates: December 4–5, 2025. Start: Thursday 4/12 at 10.00. End: Friday 5/12 at 13.00. Site: Malmö (city central) Note that online participation will be possible only for the very beginning of the meeting. We will then discuss and possibly decide on forms for future meetings, and similar questions. The rest of the meeting will be filled with suitable content for this onsite meeting: * Workshops and seminars * Show and tell-sessions (products, software, games etc. with individual hands on possibilities) Please all, do propose content for the meeting and what you can contribute with.

I still need feedback for some of our delegation members. However, most seems to be ok with the proposed days. However, I and one of my colleagues will have to leave at lunch time on the Friday. Also, I assume we will just take the Train from Copenhagen early Thursday morning, and thus only need one hotel night in Malmø. Is the venue actually in Malmø central or do we need to look for accommodation farther afield. Best regards, Jesper.

Here are our inputs. From Denmark we would like to suggest a short session about advances and changes inDigital and BrailleSHeet music. . John and Annie would like to present the outcome of a 2-day seminar which the Danish Association of the Blind hoasted this spring with more than 30 participants. Likewise Annie would like to share her takings from the sound without Sight event. Especially how children are able to pick up braille sheet music even before they do read braille propperly. If possible 45 minutes including short presentations, plenerary discussions and maybe a song. Natasia and Liselotte who are also members of the Braille Council from Synscenter Refsnæs would like to present a new concept, in danish called temakasse or a theme/concept box, if such thing exists in the english language. The idea is to support the blind or partially sighted pupil with materials in subjects like matemathics. Coordinate systems, magnetic pieces and boards, pieces with different colors to distinguish between consonants and vowels. There are pieces even with contracted braille as well. Natasia and Liselotte would like just to introduce and bring some of the material along. Half an hour -45 minutes at the maximum for this presentation. Best regards, Jesper.

I still need feedback for some of our delegation members. However, most seems to be ok with the proposed days. However, I and one of my colleagues will have to leave at lunch time on the Friday. Also, I assume we will just take the Train from Copenhagen early Thursday morning, and thus only need one hotel night in Malmø. Is the venue actually in Malmø central or do we need to look for accommodation farther afield. Best regards, Jesper.
