Talking Vision is Vision Australia's national radio program on blindness and low vision.
We hear about how the international blind and low vision community is working together on a number of initiatives, to improve the lives of the people who are blind or have low vision across the world, including Australia.
First up, Peter talks to Vision Australia’s General Manager of Advocacy and Engagement Maryanne Diamond about three of these major initiatives: the DAISY Consortium, the Marrakesh Treaty and the development of a low-cost refreshable braille display.
He also speaks with Alimata Abdul Karimu. Alimata is from Ghana, Africa and is involved in a three-month professional fellowship at Vision Australia, as part of the Institutional Development Programme of the World Blind Union. We hear about the aims of the fellowship, as well as Alimata’s life story and experiences of living with blindness in Africa.
