Tecnología Sin Barreras 3D (Fase 2 – Volunteer Braille Training and Capacity Building)
The second phase of Tecnología Sin Barreras 3D, titled Volunteer Training and Capacity Building, focuses on equipping volunteers with the foundational knowledge required to develop accessible educational materials for people with visual impairments. This stage will be conducted in collaboration with ANVI and delivered on-site at their facilities by a volunteer specialized in Braille education. The training will follow a theoretical and practical approach designed to introduce participants to Braille literacy and its application in the design of tactile and inclusive learning resources.
The module will consist of five weekly sessions, covering the history and importance of Braille in inclusive education, the progressive learning of the Braille alphabet, special characters and symbols, and the Braille numerical system. Throughout the training, volunteers will participate in reading, writing, identification, and transcription exercises aimed at developing a practical understanding of Braille. By the end of this phase, participants will possess the necessary skills to integrate Braille into 3D printed educational materials and contribute effectively to the development of accessible learning resources for ANVI beneficiaries.
