This association is distinguished by the dedication, consistency and competence with which it offers self-service services to people with visual disabilities, allowing them to become largely independent in the actions they carry out in their daily lives, this being a precondition for wanting and being able to travel safely. The services of the association are materialized in several types of workshops in which VIP learns and train constantly.
1. Mobility workshops, showing how the hearing is used (how the sound returns), how the city is organized, on how to use the mobile phone and the navigation applications. Trainers were learning how to approach VIP. In the meantime, there were concluded guides for volunteers. Each year of activity ends with mobility tests, with mixed VIP teams and typical people, when we go together to explore certain areas.
2. Cooking workshops (in restaurants, at the bakery) for both blinds and typical blindfolded.
3. Echolocation workshops for independent living: using the cane, tying laces, pouring water into the glass. The echolocation workshop teaches how to use hearing to detect an object in front, right, left, how to use the sonar (a certain intentional produced sound) to track how sound is propagated. Here you learn how to detect where the sound comes from.
