The project

Through workshops on digital tools designed by and for the visually impaired, c'cité aims to bridge the digital divide and give everyone back the freedom to act for themselves, by promoting autonomy.

Solution
Despite the law passed in February 2005 to impose accessibility for all, it's still impractical for a visually impaired person to use business software or navigate certain administrative sites, essential to a citizen's life, in complete autonomy. "Equality of rights and opportunities" sounds like a chimera, the opposite of the value of inclusion.
This exclusion is all the more stigmatizing in that it considerably reduces the number of people in employment, since visual impairment is considered to be the biggest obstacle to recruitment and/or job retention.
c'cité positions itself as a player in a Collective that respects the rights of everyone, while considering and respecting their individuality. In this way, c'cité makes its expertise available to its beneficiaries by offering training workshops in digital tools designed by and for the blind and visually impaired public. In this way, the association aims to reduce the digital divide and give everyone back their freedom of action on their own, without any dependence on any third party.

Pascal, a path to autonomy thanks to digital workshops
Dear difteurs, ✨
Today, we'd like to introduce you to Pascal who, thanks to your support 🙏, has regained a significant part of his autonomy. Visually impaired for 3 years following several operations, Pascal lost the retinas in both eyes and was thus faced with a new reality: that of a life without sight. Despite this challenge, he decided to look for ways to regain some independence 💪 and signed up for c'cité's workshops.
With a healthy dose of perseverance and the benevolent guidance of our trainers 🤝, he learned to scan, send documents, write emails, and much more! 📧🖨️
These small steps, made possible thanks to your generosity, represent gigantic advances for Pascal: "There were times when I thought it would be too difficult, but thanks to the workshops, I proved to myself that anything was possible" 💫
Thank you, dear difteurs, for enabling Pascal to regain a precious part of his autonomy.
Together, we turn challenges into victories! 🏆🎉

Why we love it?
In the digital age, it's important not to leave anyone behind. Thanks to c'cité, the blind and visually impaired of the Grand Est region can have access to digital tools and, in so doing, gain in autonomy and freedom!
"The dematerialization of administrative procedures for all those who are far removed from digital technology is a real challenge for society, and helping these citizens is an obligation.
