Willing to offer online services to read, discuss and more! (self.Blind)
submitted by Snoo-6529
I'm a high school student from India. Ever since the lockdown, I've been looking for opportunities to contribute to the society, volunteer or do something unique. So I thought about an idea that would be interesting, and not too time consuming for others. I've always wanted to have discussions and talks on various topics. And I was thinking I could hold zoom calls for whoever wants to join. Every zoom call would consist of 2 things; an agenda on what we'll be discussing and a reading session where I/someone else would read out stories/articles/interesting stuff etc. I'm not blind, but I hope to help you out in every way I can.

I don't have the complete picture yet, but I'm hoping some of you would be able to join my project and help me figure out what the best direction is. My ultimate goal is to hold meaningful discussions that would contribute to everyone's well-being and knowledge.

This is a meeting that would happen at least twice weekly. Dates will be decided later. There's no compulsion, and no scheduled plan that has to be followed through. Changes can be made if needed. Every call will be held for 1-2 hours. Topics will be decided depending on our interests. I want our discussions to be as casual and comfortable as possible.

I just hope I'm able to make your day a little bit better and interesting. I want to do something meaningful, something I know I will definitely enjoy. This was an idea I've always wanted to try and implement but didn't get the opportunity or time to do so. If you have any suggestions, please feel free to let me know.

​

Edit: if you want to help me out, please DM me and mention:

a)if you have any other suggestions, ideas etc etc

b)your name, your most preferred way of being contacted.

c)if you only want to participate in the discussion, or if you want to help out the planning and scheduling process as well?

​

I hope all of you can spread this idea to others as many people as possible.

What an interesting idea.

There is an internet radio station for the blind that offers something similar to this. https://www.theglobalvoice.info/attitude-test-archives/

You could join one of their programs to get a feel for it, and there's nothing stopping you from creating something of your own.

Thank you! This actually made me think of another idea. Not everybody could join this project, so perhaps we could record our sessions and post them up on a good, accessible platform? I'll get into the details ASAP and get started on this project.

Please DM me your most preferred way of contacting (and your details as well), and I'll get back to you with more details! I sincerely hope you are able to make a little bit of time for this project!

I like the idea of a structured conversation, especially if it can help educate people about the world around them or spark interest in a subject.

Fascinating idea what would the discussions be about?
Snoo-6529 [OP] 1 points 2y ago
Ah, it could be about anything literally- we could talk about global issues, different perspectives of life, cultures and traditions, movies and books, we could listen to audio books and have discussions on that as well and we could maybe even develop some skills i.e.- learning new languages, learning new knowledge, facts etc. Point is that, ultimately, i want the discussion to be meaningful.

Hmm.... interesting. Not sure if I would personally be interested but know people may I think. Maybe start a facebook group or group in general for this? I have plenty of things to talk to and people but yeah. I like socializing but not sure if I could commit.
