Activists of the volunteer unit “Dobrovolec” of the Stavropol State Agrarian University produced the first tactile books for blind and visually impaired children as part of the grant project winning the Mashuk-2018 Forum competition. The project “What do clouds look like?” was developed and implemented by Inna Kulieva, the head of the volunteer squad of the university.
The project organizers are volunteers from the “Dobrovolec” squad who have undergone preliminary training and are familiar with the intricacies of creating books for blind and visually impaired children and the rules for their production.
A tactile book is a book with applications and fabric elements that are as close as possible to the original of the depicted object. An important feature of such books is that they contain almost no text, they only have three-dimensional figures, silhouettes, thanks to which blind and visually impaired children discover the world around them.
The primary task of the volunteers is to make books qualitatively, with maximum accuracy, by transferring the shape and density of the surface of the depicted object.
Before the project was launched, several meetings of its organizers with the staff of the Stavropol Regional Library for the Blind and Visually Impaired were held. V.
