5 November 2004 - 1 April 2005 the See & Support film and discussion evenings take place at the British Council Library in Tallinn, aiming to raise awareness about and create new attitudes towards children and young people with disabilities and special educational needs.
These interactive seminars are meant for teachers of mainstream schools, each seminar opening with a film followed by discussion led by experts in the field. In addition, parents give practical tips and representatives of non-profit associations advise on the available support network. In Tallinn the topics touched upon are sight impairment, hearing impairment, allergies, diabetes, schizophrenia and stuttering.

29 October 2004 - 10 June 2005 the See and Support series of illustrated talks take place at the Pärnu Kolledž, aiming to raise awareness about and create new attitudes towards children and young people with disabilities and special educational needs.
A disability need not be a disabling label that prevents young people from realising their potential. Unfortunately, it is often other people’s attitudes or lack of knowledge, which do that. Learning how to notice and help people with special needs is an essential step towards inclusive education and an inclusive society. In Pärnu, the themes touched upon, are mental disability, hyperactive children, autism, speech impairment, epilepsy and mobility impairment.
