Origami for the Blind (an initiative)

Origami for the Blind is an initiative that uses the traditional art of paper folding to teach and promote spatial awareness and fine motor skills among visually impaired individuals. By engaging with tactile folding processes, participants develop cognitive understanding of shapes, structures, and instructions through touch instead of sight. This program aims to enhance confidence, creativity, and independence, making origami an accessible and empowering activity for those with visual impairments. It also fosters community and inclusivity, demonstrating how artistic expression can be adapted to different abilities.
