Description
RNIB and Motability Foundation have formed a partnership to work on several projects together. One of these projects is called End to End Conceptualisation for travel. This project focuses on imagining a future where travel and transport are accessible and inclusive for everyone. We want to work with blind and partially sighted people from different backgrounds and lived experiences of sight loss to imagine what the future of travel might look like with us. In the role you will be able to share personal travel experiences, create ideas for future transport, and test concepts at workshop type sessions. For the role you must be over 18 years old, have access to MS Teams for virtual sessions, and a willingness to attend workshops (in-person likely to be in London).
This role is great for someone interested in travel and transport, or those wanting to learn about design, innovation, or creative roles. It might suit students or people working in creative, technology, or transport sectors. The role will have opportunities to work with transport professionals and key stakeholders. This could include presenting to industry professionals and MPs, speaking at events, or taking part in media interviews, with support from the project team and other community members.
