00:00The basic idea is to open very important community and socialisation structures such as oratories,
00:10to be able to open them completely even to blind people, blind people and children,
00:15who perhaps today have more difficulty in frequenting them because on the one hand there is probably the fear of them and of the
00:23their families,
00:24on the other hand the sense of bewilderment perhaps of the organizers, of the managers, of the oratory who faced with the possibility of
00:35this type
00:36they say, maybe now how do we do it, blind, blind, then he gets hurt, then he can't socialize with
00:45the others.
00:45We want to create the conditions so that this community can grow also with the presence of blind people and
00:57blind people.
00:58It's a first step, a first day of training, I believe there will be a long journey that will last several months,
01:06but we have the confidence, the conviction and even a little bit of heartfelt hope that this operation can go well
01:16good ending.
01:17I think today is a very important day because we are creating culture on topics that are sometimes known only by
01:27few people,
01:28Instead I believe that every citizen should know a little about disability issues because the biggest barrier is
01:37ignorance.
01:39Not knowing means fear and fear means not welcoming.
01:44This project, precisely light, we wanted to call it light for this very reason,
01:50to really spread this big and bright seed that can really make people aware and open the doors of
02:03culture,
02:04of sporting opportunities, training, speakers, and courses for visually impaired people
02:12which very often are excluded for various reasons.
02:17We are really happy because there was a huge participation of many people from all over Italy,
02:25so they are small seeds that serve to build paths
02:31and I always say that these are those positive contaminations that are good not only for the heart,
02:40because then it really suits us, but they really do good for the general structure of our society.
02:47Thank you all.
