On January 29, Deputy Chief of Mission B. Bix Aliu gave opening remarks at an open roundtable themed “The Importance of a Textbook for Literacy in the Braille Alphabett”, a culmination of the U.S. Embassy-sponsored project “Textbook in Braille alphabet”, organized by Union of the Blind of Montenegro.
The Union of the Blind of Montenegro received a 2013 Democracy Commission grant to produce the first Braille textbook and literacy manual for visually impaired students in Montenegro.
This is the first time Montenegro incorporated literacy and education in Braille as part of country’s state-funded education system.
