Today, January 4th , is commemorated the invention of writing for the blind, and the birth of its inventor Louis Braille, also blind. His blindness wasn’t congenital. In his early days , little Louis wound himself in one of his eyes, and was immediately blinded by that eye. After a while the infection from the first eye wounds passes into the second, leaving Louis Braille completely blind.
By the age of 10 he joins the Royal Institute of the Blind in Paris. Later, in 1827, he became a teacher and developed a system that was earlier than his own and that is when Braille was born – “a process of reading and writing through raised dots”.
It was a great advance for the teaching of the blind. Adaptable to all languages and all kinds of spellings, the Braille System has brought more knowledge to the blind who enjoy it.
In the case of Accessible Tourism, it was an enormous contribution in the dissemination of the Destinations, its Culture, its people and to make more accessible all products and services destined, when there are, people with this type of incapacity.
Hoje, 4 de Janeiro, comemora-se a invenção da escrita para cegos, e o nascimento do seu inventor Louis Braille, também ele cego. A sua cegueira não era congénita. Ainda muito novo o pequeno Louis feriu-se num dos olhos ficando imediatamente cego desse olho. Passado algum tempo a infecção provocada pelos ferimentos do primeiro olho passa para o segundo deixando Louis Braille completamente cego.
Por volta dos 10 anos de idade entra para o Instituto Real de Cegos de Paris. Mais tarde, em 1827 torna-se professor e desenvolve um sistema anterior ao seu e é então que nasce a escrita em Braille- “ processo de leitura e escrita por meio de pontos em relevo” .
Foi um grande avanço para o ensino dos cegos. Adaptável a todas as línguas e todas as espécies de grafias, o Sistema Braille trouxe mais conhecimento aos cegos que dele usufruem.
No caso do Turismo Acessível foi um contributo enorme na divulgação dos Destinos, da sua Cultura, das suas gentes e para tornar mais acessíveis todos os produtos e serviços destinados, quando os há, a pessoas com este tipo de incapacidade.

On April 21th, at 11:00 am will be held at the Padrão dos Descobrimentos in the exhibition “The Amazing Variety of the World”. This exhibition as Audiodescription in Portuguese. This event is open to the public from February 18th to June 3th.
Synopsis
“The astonishing variety of the world proposes a scientific reflection, on the unusual – associated with the unknown, the difference and the rarity – on extraordinary beings of today and of the other times, through objects, fanciful drawings or representations from the real. The world, natural and social, is a permanent source of awe, whether by the regularity of its order or by the surprise of difference.
Amazement and rarity, as well as the unknown, summon the imagination and enlarge the world beyond the real.
As a figure of alterity, the figure that reflects the other, the one we do not know and imagine, the “monster” appears with particular emphasis in the travel literature. They are “monsters” the Sirens of Homero’s Odyssey, but they are also the people of strange customs in the far lands visited, the East by Marco Polo, and Mostrengo who keeps the sea to sail. The edge of the world, the seafront, the shore that separates the land from the unknown, is inhabited by extraordinary creatures.
If the unknown summons monsters and wonderful beings, knowledge and science, look at them with curiosity and questioning. Does the difference arise from an anomaly or multifaceted wealth? From the 19th century the prodigies of the past demystify themselves giving space to others, whether they are manipulated in the laboratory, those who continue to inhabit the banks of the unknown, the margins of human ingenuity and technique.
The Padrão dos Descobrimentos
Located on the west bank of the city of Lisbon, the Monument to the Discoveries is a work of sculptor Cottineli Telmo (1897 – 1948) by the sculptor Leopoldo de Almeida (1898 – 1975).
Initially the building was built for the Portuguese World Exhibition in 1940. In the early 60’s of last century the building is intervened throughout its structure giving the Standard a lookout, an auditorium and exhibition halls.
In this area of the city you can visit the Navy Museum, the Belém Cultural Center, the new Car Museum and the Presidency of the Republic Museum and the Belém Tower. This last monument is not accessible to wheelchair users.
ThePadrão dos Descobrimentos symbolizes the entire epic of the Portuguese in the Sea and the Infante D. Henrique, the main dynamizer and central figure of this Monument.
