(2/3) The nature of the channel has also changed over the years and no longer aligns with our University values of collaboration, compassion, inclusivity and integrity.   While this remains the case, we will no longer be posting on this account.

Attendees of #Walk21Portugal had the opportunity to experience our VR videos which show the journeys taken by some of our participants. @Sofia_Raseta and Nadia Voigt da Mata facilitated the sessions during the breaks. Great to see such interest in making spaces accessible!

This video encourages us all to discuss obstacles, like bins, with neighbours and report overgrown vegetation to the council. 🌿 Let’s ensure safe streets for everyone. Learn more about our #CutItBack campaign: bit.ly/3A1JXwm #CutItBack #VisionForChange #StreetsForAll Video Description: The video shows a clip of a man using a white cane trying to navigate a path with dustbins and vegetation alongside on the left, with the path being shown from his perspective on the right. It then shows a woman and another man in dark glasses standing outside a house with an overgrown hedge at the front. The main is explaining the issue with the overgrown hedge. The screen splits to a man on the phone at the bottom of the screen with the Fix My Street app logo underneath reporting the overgrown foliage. Transcript: Like the blind person in the video, do you have trouble with trees, bother with bins, or hassle with hedges while navigating the streets? Well, there's no point cursing under your breath. It won't get you anywhere. Don't suffer in silence. If you do something about it, it may not be there the next time. don't know whether you're aware with this. Bush is potentially a hazard for reasonably impaired people. Have you thought about talking to the owner? They might be empathetic and cut the hedge back or be mindful of where they leave their bins. Yes, I'm blind and I'd like to report a hedge. You could report the issue directly to your council or anonymously using the Fix My Street app and they will do all the hard work for you. The council have an obligation to do something about it. Report overgrown foliage, #CutItBack Learn more at sightlosscouncils.org.uk/... #CutItBack Thomas Pocklington Trust and Sight Loss Councils logos.'
