A theatre without a curtain

„A theatre without a curtain” project has brought many advantages to its participants. It is impossible to name them all, especially the non-material ones. It showed what great things can our wards can do. They only need to be given a chance. Our disabled actors have gotten one and used it. They changed their weakness into strength and talked about their feelings and the fact they should not be treated as lesser people, or without respect. We are all human beings. We have our own quirks, shortcomings, we do harm to ourselves.

Academy of the future

The basic activity is individual work of one volunteer – tutor with one student.

Internet newsstand

Transforming the magazines for the needs of the blind is based on removing graphical elements, advertisements, together with ordering them and returning continuity of the text.
