What is Typhlo and Tactus ?

Typhlo and Tactus aims to encourage excellence and the sharing of ideas, resources and expertise in the creation of tactile books for visually-impaired children. It is also a way of providing much-needed, high quality tactile books for distribution around the EU. Each year the Typhlo and Tactus organisation holds a European tactile book competition for member countries. The lucky winners not only receive 600 euros and a trophy but also see several hundred copies of their books produced and distributed (at an affordable price made possible by an EU subsidy) in English, French, Finnish, German, Dutch, Italian and Polish editions.
