Vision Beyond Sight

In today’s digital age, access to technology is not just a convenience, it’s a lifeline. Yet for many people with disabilities, particularly the visually impaired, the digital divide remains a major barrier to education, career growth, and equal opportunity.

In this episode, host Anne-Marie Wandera-Bewulira sits down with Sada Kane of DTC Senegal and Professor Cristian Bernareggi from Torino University, Italy, to discuss how inclusive technology and digital literacy programs are transforming lives. Together, they unpack the inspiration and design behind the Introduction to Computer Basics for the Visually Impaired (ICBVI) training, a groundbreaking initiative that equips visually impaired learners with essential computer skills.

The conversation explores the challenges visually impaired individuals face in accessing digital tools, the innovative teaching methods used to make learning inclusive, and the global partnerships driving this program’s success. From practical tools and assistive technologies to powerful stories of empowerment, this episode highlights how digital literacy can open doors to education, employment, and meaningful participation in society.

Vision Beyond Sight is more than a title, t’s a call to action for educators, policymakers, and communities to build a more inclusive digital future.
