Views of Life : Interview with Ask Løvbjerg Abildgaard, President Dansk Blindesamfund

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

Julius interviews Ask Løvbjerg Abildgaard, President of Dansk Blindesamfund, on the current situation of visually impaired people in Denmark.

Ask Løvbjerg Abildgaard explains the main tasks of the organisation, like addressing the decreasing rates of education levels among young blind and partially sighted persons in Denmark.

The President of Dansk Blindesamfund is also very engaged in the matter of disability policy-making. In this sense, he highlights that municipalities must realise that rehabilitation of visually impaired people is a specialised task which needs to be handled by higher administrative levels.”

#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.
