By providing a clear understanding of environments, visually impaired students can access the same spaces and services as other students without discrimination.
By making it easier for students to integrate into their new environment, they can move around independently very quickly.
By providing confidence and security when moving around, their potential is available to concentrate on their studies.
By bringing real autonomy to the whole campus, you enable your visually impaired students to:
Obtaining a higher education diploma is crucial to practicing the profession of one's choice and fulfilling one's potential.
Lack of accessibility should not be an obstacle to choosing a career path.
It's also the key to entering the job market. In 2020, 50% of young people without any qualifications were unemployed, whereas this rate was only 10% for those with a BAC+2 or more (source INSEE, employment survey).
Anne Witczak, vice-president for student life and culture at UPVD. "Virtuoz enhances the autonomy of students and staff with disabilities, (re)gives them confidence and helps to improve their study conditions, professional integration and/or working conditions. We also hope that Virtuoz will serve as an awareness-raising and demonstration tool for visitors to the school, as well as for the teachers, parents and primary and secondary school pupils we regularly welcome.
Virtuoz is a real plus, both for the autonomy of our students and for our policy of welcoming disabled people."
