Each week, our workshops are divided into two groups:
- The first group led by Jacques, a retired blind member, enables participants to discover the various smartphones and tablets and their functionalities.
- The second group led by Taha, a young blind man always accompanied by his dog Oxford (a bit of a mascot 😊 ), discovers all the applications that will enable them to gain autonomy in everyday gestures and foster social links: Facebook, Sncf Connect, Plans - native application on iPhone, Mobristras, Soudscape/VoiceVista, Seeing AI, VoiceOver, Vocaléo, Transite, etc.The uniqueness of these workshops lies in their peer-to-peer organization. Indeed, the constant monitoring of new applications and the facilitation led by volunteers who are themselves in a disability situation removes the learners' brakes when faced with the expertise of their peers.
This peer-aid approach illustrates the collaboration and solidarity of those involved, reinforcing the spirit of partnership in the pursuit of the Sustainable Development Goals!
