Nordic point-of-sight conference in Iceland

25th October 2023

A Nordic point-of-sight conference was held from 25 - 26 October at the Blind Society's house in Hamrahlíð 17. Participants from Iceland, Denmark, Norway, Finland and Sweden attended the conference, as well as several participants from Teams.

The conference took place over two days and was widely attended. The topics discussed included musical and math readings, which were topics that were of particular interest to all participants. The conference also included lectures on the purpose of reading lessons, 8 point readings and more. The conference was then decided to take place in Finland next year, but until then, working groups on music, math and 8 point readings would be established and would operate until the next meeting.

It was very good atmosphere at the conference and there was a lot of talk about the importance of regular meetings to discuss and develop the Nordic points of view. It was also interesting to see that all the countries are largely dealing with the same problems, so it is very useful to hear and see what others are doing.
