Aanensen, IngvildFrisvold, Eli2025-09-242025-09-242015-https://repository.ifla.org/handle/20.500.14598/5460NLB has arranged writing camps biannually since the launch in 2005, totalling five camps to date. The camps last a week, and are partially financed by contributions from private foundations and bequests. NLB’s writing camps provide a practical opportunity for the visually impaired to participate in a writing course, and the camp contributes to inclusion, leaving nobody behind in the real enjoyment of sharing the joy and skills in writing literature. Literature means a lot to this group, and many blind people write poems and other forms of literature for the desk drawer. Young people with visual impairments often struggle to overcome low self-esteem. The writing instruction organized at writing camps helps many participants to gain increased self-confidence and self-affirmation.enAttribution 3.0 Unportedhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/Articlehttp://conference.ifla.org/ifla81open accessWriting campcreative writinginclusion
