Workshop on “Tactile Graphics”

On November 22nd, 2023, NAB successfully organized a workshop on “Tactile Graphics,” facilitated by Prof. Boguslaw ‘Bob’ Marek, Ph.D., OBE, and Mr. Marcin Matys from Hungry Fingers, Poland. The workshop was attended by 14 participants, including 10 blind and visually impaired individuals. The training covered various types of tactile graphics, such as Thermoforming, Swell Paper, UV Printing, Thermographic Powder Technology, and Embossing Film, and included practical sessions to enhance participants' understanding.

The participants showed immense enthusiasm for learning these techniques and emphasized the importance of conducting such workshops more frequently, as tactile graphics are critical for the education and skill development of blind and visually impaired individuals.

NAB extends its heartfelt gratitude to Prof. Bob and Mr. Marcin for dedicating their valuable time to share their expertise, as well as to all the participants, volunteers, and supporters who contributed to the success of the program.
