A decade full of Color! It was 10 years ago that ColorADD Social took the “ColorADD School Program” to Santo Tirso for the first time and, since then, this partnership has not stopped! Ten years, more than 4,700 screenings carried out by the project's 6 partner opticians, in 38 schools from 4 groups and other non-group schools! It has been a long and wonderful journey, full of color, sharing and friendship, done hand in hand with the Municipality of Santo Tirso, which for us already represents home. It was a joy and, without a doubt, an honor to celebrate this milestone today, November 6th, at Escola Secundária D. Dinis, together with the school community, its students and professionals, partner opticians and representatives of the Municipality, as without your support and participation, this path would certainly not be so beautiful. Thank you Santo Tirso, here’s to the next ten years! Because color is for ALL!

The month of April 2023 marks the beginning of the implementation, on the ground, of the partnership between ColorADD Social and the ACROMATES Association, with the debut of the “ColorADD in Schools Program” in Vigo. During the 2023/2024 school year, ColorADD Social not only maintained but reinforced this partnership with ACROMATES, and, together, we took the “Programa nas Escolas” to Madrid, Valladolid, Lugo and Leon. We visited a total of 4 schools, where we spoke to more than 260 students about the topic of color blindness. Together with 4 local opticians - Avalens, Ioba, Todo visión and Adrián Salgado Ótica y Audción - more than 260 visual acuity and color blindness screenings were carried out. But let's not stop there! We intend for this project to continue to advance at full speed across Spanish territory! Because color is for ALL!

The “ColorADD School Program” in Spain visited Colegio A Gándara in Monforte de Lemos, Lugo. In partnership with the ACROMATES Association, we spoke to 4th and 5th year students about color blindness, achromatopsia and their limitations - it was very gratifying to see the students' reactions when they heard about the ColorADD Code and understand the impact that this action had. Being able to count on the support of the Municipality of Monforte, not only in offering ColorADD kits to all students, but also through the presence of the Education Councilor, was a huge privilege for us and the certainty that we are following the right path! Furthermore, the presence of ONCE representatives was also very important! A thank you also to Adrián Salgado Ótica y Audción who ensured that visual acuity and color blindness screenings were carried out! Because color is for everyone!

HOW DOES IT WORK?
THE CODE
ColorADD is a universal, transversal and inclusive language that represents, through graphic symbols, the three primary colors, plus black and white - which combined, in accordance with the basic color addition concept, allows colorblind people to identify every color whenever they are a decisive factor of identification, guidance or choice.

SCHOOL PROGRAM
We developed a program, composed of a series of actions, which are carried out in primary schools, mainly to 3rd graders, as well as to the entire educational community, so that they can understand both this limitation and the inherent day-to day constraints, whilst learning a tool, which allows a colorblind person to overcome such difficulties. Being this a continuity program, annually replicated, it will be possible to embrace all primary school pupils.
