"You See We Feel" charity exhibition for the visually impaired is held in Danish Cultural Center in Beijing's 798 Art District from March 11 to 26. This exhibition focuses on the lives and visions of 17 million visually impaired people, and also discovers how charity and accessible design can help make our world more inclusive. By inviting well-known designer, the exhibition explores issues of "How to get social opportunity for disadvantaged people, how culture and art can make an impact."
The program of "You See We Feel" creates innovative technology in China where people can translate Chinese into Braille. Through the design and development of the first Chinese Braille phonetic character database, the visually impaired people can have a bridge to communicate with the world.

"This exhibition is a testament to both the impact of Braille in everyday life, as well as the novel applications of technology to this centuries old system," Thomas Østrup Møller, Danish Ambassador to China said at the exhibition's opening ceremony on March 10.

"It also explores the lives of visually impaired people and raises awareness of how we through public welfare and accessible design can make our world more inclusive. As a Dane, I am a strong believer in an inclusive society with equal opportunities. All people with disabilities should be able to live a full life and be part of society on an equal basis with others, regardless of their disability," the ambassador said.
