We are delighted to have been made aware of this event from the Chartered Institute of Public Relations:
2024 is the 200th anniversary of the invention of Braille. David Wilkins, a totally blind and partially deaf member of CIPR, who has used Braille since 5 years old will lead this session. David trained as a journalist and is now a member of the British Antarctic Survey’s Net Zero team in Cambridge. The session will talk through the history of Braille, how it was developed, and how modern technology isn’t always the answer; covering what you should consider when communicating with people who are visually impaired.
