As part of the Nature Access to All project (NatAc) our partner – Estonian Environmental Board – has developed a new and innovative educational tool that helps to learn about nature for people with disabilities and especially – people with visual impairment. Eduational tool has been created to be as handy as possible, allowing both, the nature education specialst or a guide, as well as the person itself to go outdoors and, using the chest of senses, get to know about the three ecosystems (forest, bog, coast), characteristic features of plants and animals living there, by using the dufferent senses – sight, hearing, smell, touch. Currently five fo these chest are being produced also in Latvia, using the Estonian example) and we expect the delivery already in the end of July!

Chest of senses has been developed with support of the Central Baltic Programme 2014-2020.
