About

A logo with the name 'livingbraille'. At the top, there is a square icon with colored dots (black, yellow, and turquoise) resembling braille cell, with a wavy blue line running through them. Below the icon is the large text 'livingbraille'. Under this text, there is a line of braille symbols with the same text represented by colored dots. At the very bottom, in smaller letters, it says 'powered by EBU'. The overall design is simple, modern, and focused on the theme of braille and accessibility.'

The Braille system is one of our most important means for communication and information.

The Livingbraille platform aims to collect best practices, products, tools and resources.
