European Year of People with Disabilities

Welcome to the European Blind Union (EBU) European Year website.

We need your views, experiences and ideas to inform the forthcoming Guide to EBU, which will be published on this site, and sent to European level decision-makers and Members of the European Parliament. Tell us now on this site what it is like to be blind or partially sighted. Let your story be heard!

As part of the European Year of People with Disabilities 2003 EBU has developed this site, with the support of the European Commission, to give out information about the Year and to help blind and partially sighted people to share their views and experiences. EBU member organisations in all 15 EU countries are taking part, as well as in four of the candidate countries: Czech Republic, Cyprus, Poland and Romania. The website conforms to the strictest accessibility criteria to make sure that all people regardless of the nature and level of their sight loss can participate.

This site provides you with a forum to express and exchange views. We will collate the contributions made here throughout the year, and present the results. Our aim is to start up an interactive exchange and promote dialogue between blind people and their organisations in Europe. To find a microsite in your own language click on the name of your country from the list to be found in the Members section.
