Learning Braille in the sharing session

Students participated in the Dialogue in the Dark to taste the life of visually impaired people. Without sight, participants explored the "dark" world with canes and were escorted by the visually impaired guides. After the tour, the visually impaired guide shared his challenges of being a minority in society and how he survives with various life skills. Participants "saw" the world from a new perspective and gained more understanding about the life of visually impaired people after the activities.
