We Are Social Launch Campaign for Valentin Hauy Association During European Disability Employment Week

Nov. 21, 2023

Socially-led creative agency, We Are Social France, has launched "A Job for Me" campaign for the Valentin Hauy Association to expose the challenges faced in the workplace by blind or visually impaired individuals. The film is aired during European Disability Employment Week (November 20-26, 2023) which takes place this week.

The "A Job for Me" film created by We Are Social France uses humour to highlight the difficulties faced by visually impaired individuals when searching for work covering everything from non-adapted job advertisements to companies' reluctance to hire them.

Today in France, 70% of visually impaired individuals are unemployed - an alarming figure that illustrates the uphill battle faced by many individuals in finding employment. With this film, the Valentin Hauy association aims to raise awareness among the general public and recruitment companies so that real equal opportunities for employment can finally exist. 

The Valentin Hauy Association has been supporting visually impaired individuals for over 130 years to help them gain autonomy through accessible training or professional reintegration programs, offering real job prospects.
