EXPERIENCING THE CITY THROUGH DEAF BLIND VICTORIANS

Five members of Deaf Blind Victorians (DBV), an energetic independent community group based at Ross House, provided Council staff with a unique opportunity to experience the city as they would. Through an innovative training model where Council staff donned ear plugs and goggles, they had to navigate particular scenarios that deaf blind people experience in our city every day. Working closely with DBV is critical to planning new services such as the renewal of Kings Domain parkland, Queen Victoria Market and the Melbourne Metro Rail project. At the end of the session, we celebrated Deafblind Awareness Week and the birthday of Helen Keller, one of the 20th century’s leading humanitarians.
