Description

Visually impairment is one of the most serious forms of disability, as the ability to orientate oneself, integrate into society, work and perform other things that a person can take for granted is significantly impaired.  The project plans to strengthen the capacity of the Latvian Blind Sports Union (LNSS) by attracting new members to the organization, organizing an information day on social rehabilitation of blind and partially sighted sports for the visually impaired, social workers, NGOs and local government representatives in 4 regions of Latvia  focusing on rural areas.  With the help of expert consultations and lectures, work on the organization''s publicity will be developed, creating videos for publication on the LNSS YouTube channel, developing competitive content and visually attractive design for the organization''s Facebook page, as well as technical improvements for easier use.  During the whole project implementation, publicity events of the project (press releases, articles in regional newspapers, websites) will be organized and the general public informed.
