Campaign for International White Cane Day

Around White Cane Day on October 15, which draws attention worldwide to the needs of blind and visually impaired people, we carried out a special awareness campaign in Graz. Under the motto “Raise awareness, open perspectives,” sighted participants wearing blindfolds were able to experience for themselves how challenging it is to find their way around without sight. Together with the Austrian Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired and affected individuals, we made everyday barriers visible and showed how important inclusion and accessibility are in public spaces. The aim of the campaign was to promote understanding and strengthen the exchange between blind and sighted people. Additionally, the ontrack team is establishing a supporters list where interested people can show that inclusion is important to them (support.ontours.co.at).
