World Braille Day
Awareness day observed by the German Federation of the Blind and Partially Sighted (DBSV) focused on braille and the inclusion of blind people.
Idea to get started
Short awareness piece on the intranet: How do blind colleagues work with screen readers? Review digital accessibility in the workplace (e.g., intranet, PDFs).
Did you know?
Louis Braille was 15 years old when he invented the writing system that bears his name. It works with just six dots, and World Braille Day on January 4 is his birthday.
