Trump Foundation – project Blind and visually impaired in an aware society
In Ljubljana, the blind and visually impaired have difficulty seeing sights. Therefore, during the tourist tour, the idea arose, which passed into the initial phase, to bring the sights of Ljubljana closer to the blind and visually impaired. The blind and visually impaired benefit the most, which can also include the elderly. Buyers of wooden signs can be all MO and travel agencies and other interested users. We make wooden models in 3d dimensions so that the blind and visually impaired can actually take them in their hands and make it easier to imagine a landmark by touch. Procedure: we photograph the sights, put them in the 3D dimension, pour them into plasterboard and copy them on wooden boards, where the landmark is cut out or. stick.
Congratulations!
