New Mobility School trains coaches for visually impaired digital literacy

A new training opportunity has opened for those looking to teach digital skills to visually impaired users. The Kamerata centre in Nizhny Novgorod is now accepting applications for its Mobility School programme. Successful candidates will join a professional network of coaches specialising in non-visual technology use.

The programme forms part of the Universal Mobile Assistant initiative, a nationwide project launched in 2019. Kamerata developed it alongside regional non-governmental organisations to improve digital accessibility.

Training will mix online mentoring with practical assessments. Participants will also attend a three-day seminar in Nizhny Novgorod from March 23 to 25, 2026. All travel and accommodation costs for selected applicants will be covered by the organisers.

Graduates will gain the skills to lead courses, consultations, and outreach on mobile and computer use without visual reliance. They will then join Kamerata's network of certified digital literacy coaches. Applications remain open until February 15, with places awarded through a competitive selection process.

The initiative aims to expand support for visually impaired individuals navigating digital devices. After completing the programme, new coaches will deliver training across Russia. The deadline for submissions gives prospective participants just over two weeks to apply.
