Services
As a support platform for people with had of hearing, blindness or deafblindness, we provide the following services to the organizations that collaborate with us:
ORGANIZE DEBATES
This Platform has been formed to enhance, strengthen and cultivate a robust and enduring collaboration between its members. In that sense, we organize conferences, debates and meetings where we can show our progress and find better ways to help deaf and deafblind people.
COMPARE ESTATISTICS
In order to better understand the current situation of the deaf and blinf people in Europe, we record stadistics of every country and then we compare this information and find conclusions.
SPREAD THE MESSAGE
Once we detect which situations requires more attention and assistance, we work to spread the message both between the political autorities of the European Union and its citizens. We work in order to convince them to enhance new politics in that sense.
