National Braille Week

National Braille Week, observed annually in October, is a week dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of braille as a vital tool for communication and literacy for individuals who are blind or visually impaired. Organised by the Royal Blind, National Braille Week highlights the contributions of braille to education, independence, and accessibility, and encourages greater understanding of the challenges faced by those who rely on braille.

Braille provides blind and visually impaired individuals with the ability to read and write, offering them independence in their daily lives. National Braille Week promotes the continued development of accessible technologies and resources for individuals with visual impairments.

Here are some social media content ideas to engage your audience during National Braille Week:
