Latest news: Third steering group meeting in Rome on 27-28 March 2010.

Each generation has to deal with its own obstacles, but also has its own know-how. So how can we bring different generations together so that knowledge and experience are shared ? Which tools and methodologies are best suited to this venture ? The INTERGEN project is being developed to look at HOW this can be achieved to link and empower junior and senior people with visual disabilities.

The project is designed and conducted by the European Blind Union (EBU), a non-governmental organisation with 25 years' experience in promoting the interests of blind and partially-sighted Europeans. It is funded by the Education and Culture DG of the European Commission and involves five partners from the EBU network : the German Federation of the Blind and Partially Sighted (DBSV), the Italian Union of the Blind and Partially Sighted (UIC), the Italian Institute for Research, Training and Rehabilitation (IRIFOR), the Turkish Federation of the Blind, and the Turkish Six Dots Foundation.
