Close your eyes for a moment. Imagine experiencing this world if your vision is limited, you might struggle to read signs, spot gaps, or avoid obstacles... For many people with disabilities, this isn't just a challenge; it can be an overwhelming barrier. But what if there was a place to build confidence, and to prepare for those public transport journeys in a safe, supportive environment? 🤔
 
▶️In this video, we're taking you inside the Wayfinding Centre in Dublin, Ireland. They're creating a unique space where people can simulate real-world public transport scenarios, helping them navigate everything from noisy trains to busy bus stops. It's more than just training, it's about empowering individuals and pushing for a world where public transport is truly accessible for everyone.
