I so enjoyed Eleanor’s speech, what wonderful experiences #Braille is helping her with! The conference was a fab day of connecting with other Braillists, I had my tech questions answered & received great tips for tactile drawing techniques. I’m so glad I could attend #WorldBrailleDay #Braille200 ♿️
erstollery.bsky.social Eleanor’s Voice @erstollery.bsky.social · Jan 4
Born on 4th Jan 1809, #LouisBraille’s legacy is celebrated on #WorldBrailleDay. Today, Eleanor delivered the keynote speech @newcollegeworc.bsky.social for The Braillists Foundation, highlighting the vital role that #braille still plays in the modern world. #BrailleLiteracy #EleanorsVoice 🤩💜
Eleanor is standing on a grassy area in front of a large sign. She is holding a white cane and is wearing a black coat with a fur-lined hood, blue jeans, and white trainers. She has a light blue crossbody bag. The sign behind her reads: "Welcome to NCW - New College Worcester” The sign has an eye logo next to the "NCW" text. Eleanor is standing at a wooden podium, speaking into a microphone with a yellow foam cover. She is wearing a bright pink jumper, dark blue jeans, and white trainers. Her long blonde hair is down. Behind her, there is a table with audio equipment and cables. The room has light-colored wooden flooring and gray walls, with a window partially visible. A framed picture of a pink flower is hanging on the wall to the left. A picture of the Keynote Speaker introduction text sent out to all attendees that is titled in bold… “Keynote Speaker: Eleanor Stollery”, and then reads “Eleanor Stollery is a remarkable 13-year-old advocate for braille literacy. Blind from a young age due to an optic pathway hypothalamic glioma, Eleanor has already made an extraordinary impact on both the arts and accessibility. In 2019, at just eight years old, Eleanor made her professional stage debut as Tiny Tim in A Christmas Carol at London's Old Vic Theatre, reprising the role in 2020 and 2021. She is also a talented voice actor, bringing the character Lark to life in the animated series Milo on Channel 5's Milkshake. Most recently, she was featured in ‘My Life: How I See It’, a CBBC documentary which followed her journey to audio describe a live show at the National Theatre. In February 2024, Eleanor became the first blind young person to deliver live audio description for a UK theatre performance. Collaborating with the National Theatre, she described a schools' performance of The Witches using a braille script and hands-free technology to operate the audio description console. As the keynote speaker for our World Braille Day Conference, Eleanor will share her unique perspective on the importance of braille and accessible technologies, telling us how she uses braille as a young blind student and actor.”

2 million people in the UK have significant sight loss

#Braille200 is a fantastic project to assist the blind and partially sighted community

And to help others wishing to connect with such communities
