It is important to bear in mind that the fact of considering technology as a valuable resource to accomplish concrete goals implies positive attitudes, thoughts and feelings. For example, the Cultures in Contact course promote both the use of technology and the value of the interaction experience among students. Students have to learn how blind people access the Internet and e-mail through a program called Jaws that allows blind people to engage in positive interactions. Participants of this course must also try to find a way to improve current city services conditions for people with disabilities. For example, the first group of Cultures in Contact course carried out a final social project, as part of the course content in which they, divided into small groups, interviewed groups of restaurants’ owners to see if their facilities were adequate for blind people. As the results were not as positive as the group would have wanted, the students decided to translate the restaurants’ menus into Braille language with the help of CEMIPRE, an organism of the Presbyterian Church of Reñaca and Mission to the World, committed to addressing spiritual, emotional and physical needs of people with disabilities. The total group participated in Braille Lessons, which allowed them to accomplish their mission with success.
