Activities by which persons with visual impairment demonstrate their talents in photography while enabling their views to be understood by the public

 

Visually impaired persons can express their feeling and convey messages about their specific perspectives through photo-taking. The venture, through promoting “blind photography”, i.e. using photos taken by the visually impaired persons for creating multi-sensory postcards, holding photo exhibitions, organising experiential activities and community tours guided by the visually impaired, aims to enhance public’s understanding of the visually impaired persons.

Job opportunities will be offered to the visually impaired persons in the production of multi-sensory postcards, braille typing and delivery of experiential activities.
