Between 18 and 26 September, 2009, in Călimăneşti, Vâlcea district, Romania, there were the Playing Together project activities. 5 countries participated: Belgium, Bulgaria, Italy, Romania and Spain.
It was a wonderful week where we made new friends and we learned a lot of useful tings. The project was implemented by Pontes Organization from Cluj-Napoca and the leader was Carmen Ramona Todoruţ.

I hope here we will discuss more about this project: impressions, opinions, etc. ..

Do you consider that this is a good way to make the visual impaired people more independent?
