Intertek Hong Kong Launches Accessible Calendar For The Visually Impaired

The "Touch and Feel" concept is a sensory experience crafted in collaboration with our guest photographer Kwok Kin from Sightfeeling. Sightfeeling is a non-profit organisation formed by a group of visually impaired photography enthusiasts, expressing their talents through their unique perspectives.

The calendar features captivating black-and-white photographs taken by Kwok Kin, an active member of Sightfeeling. Despite having only 10% vision, Kin used his unique perspective to demonstrate his ability to tell stories through photography. In addition to stunning visual content, the calendar will have a tactile cover with embossed printing, creating an experience for the sighted.

In this calendar, we get to experience the "feel" from the perspective of visual impairment through Kwok Kin's photographs. Furthermore, we have incorporated elements of Braille - a system of six raised dots that allows reading with fingertips, enabling us to experience the "touch" as perceived by the visually impaired.

The calendar features various views of Intertek's testing facilities. Additionally, QR codes provide a gateway to explore more remarkable aspects of Intertek Hong Kong in the Garment Centre. Kwok Kin has been filmed expressing his thoughts on this "Touch and Feel" project.

Intertek strive to support and uplift our community. The 'Touch and Feel' calendar is a testament to this commitment. We believe in the power of inclusion and the importance of understanding and embracing different perspectives. This project is more than a calendar - it's a step towards fostering empathy and inclusivity in our society.
