RNIB Edinburgh

To establish wider network connections and discuss Public Engagement opportunities, a research visit was made in June 2019, to the Royal National Institute of Blind (RNIB) Scotland’s head office in Edinburgh. Keen to develop engagement with the general public through art, as a route to better understand the spectrum of vision and sight-loss, the RNIB have embarked on creative projects with collaborators including the Royal College of Art How We See: Representation and Communication around visual impairment (RNIB, 2019 ).
During the introductory meeting the practice-output of this project was discussed with RNIB Scotland’s East of Scotland Volunteer, Daniel Meikle (blind) and Scotland Community Facilitator, Jane Coates (sighted) will co-facilitate the event, providing training sessions and transport for blind artists (clients) of the RNIB. Fully supportive and enthusiastic of this project, the RNIB in Edinburgh aim to be in contact throughout the project, with involvement in Public Engagement events, detailed later in this document, and a view to using the final practice output as a training tool in due course.

Phase 3: Searching for themes. "Phase 3 begins when all data have been initially coded and collated. This phase re-focuses the analysis at the border level of themes, rather than codes, involves sorting the different codes into potential themes, and collating all the relevant coded data extracts within the identified themes. Essentially, you are starting to analyse your codes and consider how different codes may combine to form an overarching theme."

The next step will be to start collating these codes into potential sub-themes
