Odyssey Global Media is pleased to globally broadcast "The Views of Life" series with cooperation partners Austrian Broadcasting Corporation and European Blind Union⁋

In this episode of the #ViewsOfLife series Julius talks to Dr. Markus Wolf, President Austrian Association of Blind and Partially Sighted People, BSVÖ⁋

Dr. Markus Wolf talks about his work as the President of the Austrian Member of the European Blind Union and in which way he is committed at all levels (national, European and international).

As he underlines, permanent dialogue between stakeholders and working together are important to identify common goals and to solve issues in key areas such as mobility, employment and education.⁋

At the same time, he gives us some examples about BSVÖ’s work for the blindness and partial sight community at a national level, such as their commitments for improving the accessibility of elevators for visually impaired.⁋



#ViewsOfLife is a cooperative media project by European Blind Union (EBU) and ORF_connect for technical support of production. Through this initiative, journalist Julius Kratky will interview people from different EBU National Members to know more about the situation of blind and partially sighted people across Europe.
