For instructors

As the world becomes increasingly digital, access to information, services, and tools is no longer optional—it's essential. However, for individuals who are blind or visually impaired, the internet and other digital environments are still full of barriers. These barriers prevent full participation in education, employment, communication, and social life. Despite growing awareness, accessibility is often treated as an afterthought rather than a foundational design principle. Improving accessibility is not just about meeting compliance standards—it's about creating a world where everyone, regardless of ability, has equal opportunity to learn, work, and thrive. This article explores the digital challenges faced by blind and low-vision users, outlines practical strategies for accessible content creation, and discusses how platform design and policy can improve outcomes for people with visual impairments.

“Practical Approaches to Working with Young People with Concentration Difficulties” presents strategies from the Swili 5 project, combining swimming, mindfulness, and time management training. The guide offers concrete exercises, structured routines, and supportive techniques to help adolescents build focus, resilience, and social skills, while reducing symptoms linked to attention challenges.

We have produced a Guide for future education of swimming instructors - for teaching swimming and mindfulness. They are adapted to various physical and mental disabilities. The guide is written in 5 different languages - in English and in all of the partner languages. They are in pdf form. We have produced a collection of teaching swimming knowledge in the form of video tutorials, showing good practice.

We wrote this Manual during our other Erasmus+ project Take care of your coach.
