3. Musical educational meetings for the blind and partially sighted children and young people, which include lectures, occasional concerts, talks with artists, learning about instruments through the sense of touch, education as well as encouragement to use computers for the blind users with special equipment – speech unit, screen reader and Braille line;
4. Hand-making of tactile picture-books for the blind and partially sighted children, and enabling the children with good eyesight to better understand the difficulties of people with special needs.
