We have just come to know that we will contribute our article "The Golden Age" to the specialist conference "Universal Design - UD2014".

Multi-sensory Painting Guide in the International Limelight
It's official now: The renown international specialist journal "Terra haptica" (review for Tactile Illustrated Books) will publish our article on the multi-sensory painting guide "The Golden Age" (Golden Age - Paintings for all: Making the previously unheard, unseen and unimaginable accessible).

Painting Guide on State Visit
Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media Bernd Neumann has selected 10 innovative projects from 120 submitted entries from all over Germany to be awarded the prize for cultural education.
As one of the finalists we have travelled to Genshagen in Brandenburg for the presentation of our multi-sensory painting guide. We are particularly proud of having complied with the strict criteria for the final selection, that is to say that our book is considered to have a long-term effect, is regarded as nationally exemplary and innovative, and pays particular heed to underrepresented target groups.

Dear Mr Strutz
My great congratulations to you and your team for being recognised at the 2013 "Design for All Awards"!
Your Multi-sensory Painting Guide is another important contribution towards the inclusion of the partially sighted.
May I also take this opportunity to thank you once again for your help while the SPD parliamentary group was preparing the motion for the German Bundestag "Culture for All - Equal opportunities and access to culture, information and communication for persons with disabilities". Your advice has been extremely helpful.
All my very best wishes to you for your valuable work.
Yours sincerely
Ulla Schmidt

Our first inclusive painting guide for sighted, partially sighted and blind people is published
In conjunction with this year's Week of Vision, Andere Augen, in cooperation with the Schwerin National Museum and the Association for the Blind and Partially Sighted in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, presents the first inclusively designed multi-sensory museum guidebook in Germany.
Not everyone has the capacity to enjoy the visual arts to their fullest extent. So how can visual art be communicated to partially sighted or blind people in a museum context? At present, only a minority of cultural institutions in Germany offer events for people whose eyesight is impaired, and then only occasionally. Schwerin, however, will be an exception from now on. This unique multi-sensory museum guidebook will open up special ways of perceiving and enjoying the world of fine art, regardless of whether the visitor is sighted, visually impaired or blind - and it is entirely in keeping with the principle of inclusion.

Competence network Universal Design
As from today Andere Augen officially forms part of the Universal Design competence network at Berlin's International Design Centre.

The competence network addresses designers in particular, but also institutions and initiatives in research, science and teaching that want to make a user-friendly and cross-generational design of products and services their primary objective.
