Are you a TVI, an educator, or a parent of a braille reader? Have you been searching for books and other braille-related resources in French? In honour of World Braille Day, we invite you to this workshop, which will focus on resources for French speakers across the country. Whether you are looking for educational material, leisure reading or games, or you just want to learn the basics of the braille code, it can be a challenge to find these resources in French. Come and join us to learn what is available and how you can access it.

Target Audience: TVIs and members of students’ educational teams.

Language of Delivery: French

In celebration of World Braille Day, Braille Literacy Canada (BLC), the Canadian Council of the Blind (CCB), the CNIB Foundation, the Centre for Equitable Library Access (CELA), the National Network for Equitable Library Service (NNELS), and the Provincial Resource Centre for the Visually Impaired (PRCVI) are organizing a series of online events.

This celebration of braille is open to people of all ages who are curious about braille, either practically, professionally, or somewhere in between! Target audiences include all braille readers, library staff, and educators. The celebration will be conducted virtually on Zoom.

All sessions (excluding any live Q&A) will be recorded and posted publicly after the series of events has concluded. Even if you’re unable to attend, please register to receive an email notification when the recordings are available.
