Aids day in the Borken district

for blind, visually impaired and hearing impaired people

On Saturday, 25 April 2026 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., the Bocholt-Borken Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired and the self-help group for the hearing impaired in the Borken district are organising a joint exhibition of assistive technology. The exhibition presents the variety of possible aids for blind, visually impaired and hearing-impaired people and gives interested parties an insight into what the current market for assistive devices offers people to support their everyday life, professional work, leisure time, household, etc.

Which aid is the right one for my situation? Come and talk to well-known assistive technology companies / organisations and get individual advice.

We look forward to your visit! Admission is free!
