The motion

That the Parliament congratulates the Royal Blind School, a specialist education school, which is run by Sight Scotland, Scotland’s largest visual impairment charity, on hosting vision impairment education experts from Germany, the Netherlands and Spain as part of the 3D4VIP European project to create a catalogue of objects that can be 3D printed; understands that the project began in 2020 and will create objects that are specially designed for learners with vision impairment; recognises what it sees as the positive impact this will have on learners with vision impairment to understand an object and fill in conceptual gaps; understands that the database of designs will be shared on a website with vision impairment professionals across the world, which is due to be launched in June 2023; commends the Royal Blind School for being at the forefront of the future of vision impairment education and international collaboration, and wishes all those involved all the best for the final results.
