You have achieved something very impressive, but also something very special and unique for your own country. One of the most important experiences for me at this congress is that there are different ways of doing things but that we can learn to accept these differences. Young people with blindness, visual impairment or multiple disabilities, no matter where they live in Europe need the same things because we live in a very visual world. However their social and cultural environment will determine how they are enabled to achieve these goals. I really do hope we continue to have such variety across Europe and things don't become too uniform.
Differences create discussions and further developments.
Without discussions among experts and the weighing of advantages and disadvantages of the system no progress whatsoever will take place. Satisfaction has never been the motor of change. Therefore my r sum will focus on those aspects with which we are still dissatisfied. I am doing this because it is the basis of movement and change. The Future is a land which nobody knows.
