In April 2026 Austria included “Verwendung und Weitergabe der Brailleschrift” (Use and tradition of braille) in the national list of intangible cultural heritage.
Congratulations to everyone who contributed to this action!
With Germany, France and Slovenia Austria is the forth countrywhich recognices braille as cultural heritage.
