About

dots4futures is an innovative learning, action, and communication platform specifically designed for blind and visually impaired youth, teachers, researchers, and strategic project partners from Austria and internationally.

This platform promotes regional, national, and international networking and exchange, and was launched as part of the ERASMUS+ project LeMOON by art_science_policy educator, and project manager Tatjana Christelbauer, President of the ACD-Agency for Cultural Diplomacy Association, who collaborated as a project partner from Austria with the Federal Institute for the Blind in Vienna (BBI).
The platform starts with the presentation of developed learning materials on the topic of environmental and community education for sustainable development and creative works created by the students and teachers involved in the project during project-related learning workshops.

These materials offer a comprehensive insight into the creative and educational work within and beyond the project.
A highlight of dots4futures is the first LeMOON Climate BBIennale, which will take place in September as a public event. At this event, blind and visually impaired youth will have the opportunity to engage in dialogue with invited and participating guests from various schools, ministries, museums, and other cultural and social institutions. Participants will present their ideas on climate protection, sustainability goals, and their visions for the future.
The LeMOON Climate BBIennale will be hosted at the Federal Institute for the Blind (BBI) and aims to establish itself as a future event format. It offers a unique opportunity to bring the voices and perspectives of blind and visually impaired youth into the discourse on climate protection and sustainability and to present their creative solutions and visions.
