Where: Rome 

One of the many laws concerning persons with disabilities in Italy (ACT 284 / 1997, is focused on prevention of blindness in broader sense and on rehabilitation of VI persons). Both scientific literature and many best practices consider long life learning as a significant aspect of visual rehabilitation; in fact one of the main reactions to the challenge coming from lack of vision (wheter total lack or partial lack) is education in broader sense. Music, as the most accessible art, but also as an opportunity for improving knowledges, skills, social relations, is fully compliant with our concept of rehabilitation, because it can reduce the gap between fully sighted persons and VI persons. Our project has realized innovative solutions capable of inverting the tendency towards expiration of music literacy among visually impaired persons of all ages and capable of reducing in a elevant wat the gap affecting didactical and social communication between VI persons and their sighted coun terparts (teachers, schoolmates, publishers, etc.)
