NEW KEYNOTE

We have had a last minute cancellation from a keynote. We have been fortunate enough that Sebastian Scott Engen has had the opportunity to step in at very short notice with a keynote presentation online.

Exploring how AI can become a genuinely useful part of your workday by Sebastian Scott Engen, Cand.IT in Cognitive Science:

Hi everyone, my name is Sebastian. My goal is simple: to get us all on the same page and build a shared, practical understanding of how we can leverage AI in our work. We’ll do this by using simple metaphors, such as thinking of AI as a helpful intern or a genius brainstorming partner. With these perspectives in mind, we can more easily see how AI can support the jobs that we already do. I’ll show you some concrete examples and straightforward techniques, so you leave with a common vocabulary and, hopefully, feel comfortable taking the first steps in exploring how AI can become a genuinely useful part of your workday in the near future.

Keynote update

We are excited to share the news about our new keynote speakers:

The power of perspective: being able to look for opportunities rather than limitations, by Maren Gjærde Tryggestad.

As a visually impaired young woman, the outside world can often seem fairly inaccessible and overwhelming. Nevertheless, the ability to see opportunities and step out of one’s own comfort zone has given me countless amounts of experience that have undoubtedly enabled me to live an independent, fun, fulfilling and «normal» life.

I would like to share a glimpse of my life with you, to show how positive mindsets, strong institutions, and, above all, people, have made this possible for me. Furthermore, I hope to give insight into how you, as experts on visual education can make a big difference in visually impaired children, youth and adult lives.

We proudly present Janna Brattli as our second new Keynote-speaker;

Navigating the World Together: A Mother and Daughter’s Story.

In 2020 Janna became a mother for the first time. Learning that the child was completely blind was overwhelming! Being the mother of a blind child presents a whole range of challenges one are not prepared for as a parent.

However, the joy of what is possible far exceeds any challenge. In this Keynote presentation you will get to know Jenny (5 years old) and how she navigates the world!

We look forward to welcoming you at NKS2025 in Sandefjord soon!

Synspedagogisk kompetanse for inkludering og livskvalitet

Vi lever i en visuelt krevende verden, og den synspedagogiske kompetansen er
viktigere enn noen gang! Vår kunnskap er med på å sikre god inkludering og
livskvalitet for personer med synsnedsettelse, i alle livets faser. Som fagpersoner
bidrar vi til god tilrettelegging og ervervelse av ferdigheter for et selvstendig liv.
Kongressens visjon er å styrke den synspedagogiske yrkesidentiteten. Forskning og
praksis møtes, og vi ønsker å skape rom for erfaringsutveksling og kunnskapsdeling
mellom fagpersoner fra de nordiske landene. Meld gjerne din interesse for å holde en
workshop!
Nordisk kongress i synspedagogikk går over 3 dager og vil inneholde forelesninger og
workshops. Denne gangen vil vi også prøve oss på noe helt nytt; Teachmeet, der alle
kan få vise korte eksempler eller tips fra sin praksis.                                                Utstillere og leverandører innenfor synshjelpemidler og teknologi vil også være til stede.

Inclusion and quality of life in the field of Visual Impairment

We live in a visually demanding world and knowledge in vision education is
more important than ever! Our professional knowledge helps to improve the
quality of life and promote the inclusion of people with visual impairment at
all stages of life. We can contribute to the adaptation and development of
skills and knowledge to achieve independent living.
The vision with the Congress is to strengthen the professional identity of vision
education. To be a place where research and practice meet, striving to create a
platform for the exchange of experiences and knowledge between
professionals from the Nordic countries.
The Nordic Congress in the field of Visual Impairment will take place over 3
days and will include lectures and workshops. This time we will also try
something completely new; Teachmeet, where everyone can show short
examples or tips from their practice.                                                                       Exhibitors and suppliers of visual aids and technology will be presented and
joining the exhibition area.
