International Braille Day - 4th January 2026
Date: Sunday 04th January 2026 to Monday 05th January 2026
Time: 10.00 to 23.30
World Braille Day takes place on the 4th of January every year and marks the birthday of Louis Braille, the inventor of the braille language for blind and partially sighted people.
This day celebrates the importance of braille as a means of communication in the full realization of the human rights for blind and partially sighted people. World Braille Day aims to raise awareness of the significance of braille as a symbol of competence and independence for blind individuals. It also highlights the need for accessible information for people with visual impairments. This observance is crucial in promoting equality, as braille literacy is an essential tool for educational freedom and employment opportunities. By acknowledging this day, we recognize the contributions of visually impaired individuals and reaffirm the right to equal access to information and written communication.
