ACTIVITIES IN THE DISSEMINATION PHASE

In order to spread the results and Intellectual Outputs of the project more widely and provide specific answers to the different target groups, the Project’s Result Dissemination Plan was designed, including the materials, activities, and actions that were to be carried out.

With this, the impact of the project and its results at the European level has been very relevant, since it has reached more than 85 organizations in 24 different countries.

This was possible thanks to the network of Albinism entities in Europe and the Aniridia Europe organization, in charge of guaranteeing the impact at the European level. These are two networks of entities that represent a large part of the persons with Albinism and Aniridia in Europe, with more than 35 member entities between both of them in 13 member states.

Among the multiple actions carried out, the following stand:

ON-SITE DISSEMINATION ACTIVITIES:

  • DISSEMINATION MEETINGS WITH MULTIPLIERS: the involvement of other organizations and multipliers was a priority to strengthen and broaden the project’s impact and to ensure the dissemination of its results. This is why several bilateral meetings with decision-makers in the education field (educational centers’ headmasters and teaching staff) and policy makers in the fields of social inclusion and education were held.

Furthermore, several dissemination activities were planned to enhance the visibility and dissemination of the results, consisting of:

  • THE MULTIPLIER EVENTS (E1, E2, E3) for the final presentation of the project’s results to political and educational institutions in all the partner countries (Spain, Norway, Italy). Structured into a first training session to learn the basic concepts and general aspects to help understand low vision, the sessions focused on presenting the two Intellectual Outputs: the O1 – VIRTUAL TRAINING COURSE FOR TEACHER TRAINING AND PRE-PRIMARY SCHOOLS IN THE INCLUSION OF STUDENTS WITH VISUAL IMPAIRMENTS IN THEIR CLASSROOMS, and the O2 – VISUAL STIMULATION APP, where the materials were showcased with the objective of not only testing their usefulness and disseminating them, but also encouraging the attendees to participate in their future development and achieve the greatest possible impact.

  • DISSEMINATION ACTIVITIES: Among the dissemination activities that were carried out in situ, on our part we can highlight the presentation of the project to children with albinism, and the workshop «Children with albinism» held in Seville (Spain).

However, the greatest impact of these activities was achieved thanks to the collaboration of indirect participants, educators, and teachers from schools and pre-primary and primary education organizations who, although they were not able to carry out the on-site pilot tests in their schools due to COVID-19, had all the information and results sent to them and they carried out dissemination and visibility activities successfully.
