European Solidarity Project:Sustainable Accessible playgrounds
European Solidarity Project:Sustainable Accessible playgrounds 150 150 Enabling Website e-Νable Greece

e-Nable Greece designed a project that aims to support people especially children with visual impairments on issues related to their daily live and their integration into society and to develop ties with their peers in the neighborhood where they grow up and play. Approved by the Greek Youth and Lifelong Learning Foundation (INEDIVIM) and is financed by the European Solidarity Corps-ESC.

Objectives of the program

In summary, the proposed plan sets the following objectives:  

• the professional and social empowerment of young people, with the acquisition of new technical, emotional and behavioral skills  

• the formation of a culture of social contribution and active citizenship for the group of young people  

• the design and construction of at least 5 tactile maps and 5 aids for people with visual impairment that will be placed in at least 5 playgrounds  

• the integration of the aforementioned aids in the educational process of Protoporia NGO

In this program, the main target group is people with total or partial blindness, especially primary school children who attend special schools and of course visit playgrounds with their escorts. The collaboration between e-Nable Greece and Protoporia will lead to the creation of a pilot program for the modification and enhancement of the country’s playgrounds so that they are accessible for people with visual disabilities. The aim is not to build special playgrounds, but to enable existing ones to accept children with visual impairments. We want children to be able to participate equally in games and in the company of their peers. In this way, all children will indulge in the subject, will become familiar with coexistence with children with visual impairment and will operate in such a way that everyone can follow the pace of play. 

The young people who will take part in the program will take part in the idea of volunteerism and social contribution in the places where they live. They will contact the local people with greater immediacy as they are members of the local community. They will reach out to local municipal services, local newspapers, radio, and social media. They will seek out other young people to disseminate the spirit and results of the program to continuously disseminate the results. This involves introducing the program to two municipalities. Also, at least once every 15 days or once a month there should be a publication in a local newspaper or magazine. In addition, in consultation with the local offices of primary and secondary education, 2 events-presentations should take place in the schools of the participating areas. In them, the aims and actions of the European Solidarity Corps will be presented. The program with its processes and results, the impact of this will present on new participants and beneficiaries

European Solidarity Project: “3D printing in autism”
European Solidarity Project: “3D printing in autism” 259 194 Enabling Website e-Νable Greece

e-Nable Greece designed a project after the urging of young people who are in the autism spectrum and are supported by the NGO “Rethymnon Kypseli” in all its stages. Approved by the Greek Youth and Lifelong Learning Foundation (INEDIVIM) and is financed by the European Solidarity Corps-ESC.

Objectives of the program

The proposed program is aimed at people who are on the spectrum of autism and their course of actions in their education, their daily life and their inclusion in the social and professional arena. The implementation of the project will be carried out with the active participation of young people from the NGO “Rethymnon Kypseli” at all stages of the program. The specific program focuses on the requirements of the following groups:

1. The young people with autism who will be involved in the program.

2. The individuals, beneficiaries of the NGO “Rethymnon Kypseli”.

3. The trainers of the NGO “Rethymnon Kypseli”.

4. People on the autism spectrum and their instructors from other schools, clubs, associations, etc.

Participating young people will develop and improve their skills at a personal and social level, since they will provide work for themselves and for a specific vulnerable group. The project is able to create a series of actions to motivate other young people who are on the autism spectrum and also other members of the local community, developing a spirit of volunteerism in the local communities where they live permanently. In addition, the participants will practice the concept of social entrepreneurship by creating new devices that will benefit the local community or society in general and will deal with new social challenges.

Their engagement with new technologies and 3d printers will benefit them in terms of educational level and development of their social skills. The program aims to improve their daily life and the prospects of social and professional advancement. In particular, they will 3D design and manufacture 5 board games and 5 educational aids and cover the educational needs of people who are on the spectrum of autism. The 3D designs and printing files will be posted on the e-Nable Greece site (www.enabling.gr) and on well-known sites that are repositories of 3D designs such as www.thingiverse.com & www.minifactory.com. All designs and detailed assembly instructions will be published at the same time.

“Giving life to images”, Points of Support 2020 740 380 Enabling Website e-Νable Greece

The project aimed at the development of a methodology for transforming 2D digital images (from school books, fairytales or other leaflets) into 3D printed tactile images for Visual impaired students. Moreover the images of two visualized fairytales designed by Amimoni, during the project “Fairytale without limits”, were transformed into tactile images, “Gata Koumpara” & “Koukouska“. This action is implemented in the frame of the programme Points of Support and is being funded by the following charity organizations: John S. Latsis Public Benefit Foundation, TIMA Charitable Foundation, Hellenic Hope charity organisation, Captain Vassilis & Carmen Constantakopoulos Foundation, A. G. Leventis Foundation, A.C.

Laskaridis Charitable Foundation, Costas M. Lemos Foundation and Bodossaki Foundation. In the frame of the project, a guidebook and an online video were designed for guiding any stakeholder who wishes to transform any digital image into a .stl file and final, via 3D printing, into a tactile image.

Below you can download the .stl files (in order to 3D print them by yourselves or ask a 3D printing expert to do it for you) for two fairytales:

Here you will find the audio and visualized form of the fairy tale and here the .stl files for 3D printing the images and transforming them into tactile images.
