Apraksts
The hosting organisation, the Institut Royal pour les Handicapés de l’Ouie et de la Vue (IRHOV), comprises two specialised schools for youth aged 3 to 21 with visual and hearing impairments. IRHOV is dedicated to innovative projects in both formal and non-formal education, incorporating sports and cultural activities tailored to the needs of those with sensory impairments. During the volunteering experience at IRHOV, the volunteer will engage in various activities for students and their families. Key roles will include: • Supporting and organising extracurricular activities such as sports days, theatre, and reading sessions; • Enhancing connections between families and strengthening community bonds within the school; • Raising awareness about visual impairment and supporting others in understanding the barriers and challenges faced by persons with visual impairments; • Promoting a positive image of visual impairment to students from mainstream schools to foster inclusivity.

The volunteers' apartment features two bedrooms and a spacious shared living area. Volunteers will either have a private room or share with another young person, with shared kitchen, bathroom, and toilet facilities. The apartment is equipped with tactile markers on appliances, contrasting tableware, and labelled storage boxes to ensure ease of use and accessibility. Located in the vibrant Sainte-Marguerite neighbourhood of Liège, the area offers opportunities for independence, supported by mobility and orientation classes.
