Dear All,
INBAF, the Irish Braille and Alternative Format Association would like to
invite you to an Information Afternoon on UEB (Unified English Braille) and UIB
(Updated Irish Braille) On Wednesday, March 4th 2015.
These two new braille codes are gradually being introduced in all Irish schools
since September 2014 and will eventually replace the current codes for all
braille readers.
To find out what’s new, how little changes there are, how these new codes are
used with braille display technology, how this code works in all English
speaking countries and more, please drop by and talk to our braille experts.
Venue: Claregalway College, Claregalway Corporate Park, Claregalway, Co Galway
Time: Any time between 3 pm and 6 pm
Who this is for:
Anyone who reads braille, studies braille or works with students or pupils who
are braille readers. Anyone who uses braille display technologies or supports
people who use same. Anyone with a general interest in the upcoming changes in
the English and Irish braille codes, teachers, transcribers, student support
officers, researchers etc.
This is an informal afternoon, no lectures are being given, but we have
information leaflets, demonstration books in old and new braille codes, braille
display and braille note taker and are happy to answer any English or Irish
braille-related questions.
If at all possible and to help us plan, please confirm your attendance with
