In this unique and eye-opening experience, 20 participants journeyed into an environment shrouded in absolute darkness, offering a glimpse into life as experienced by those with visual impairments. Led by visually impaired guides, they navigated realistic, everyday settings while relying on touch, sound and scent to make sense of their surroundings.

This activity not only cultivated empathy but also provided participants with a profound appreciation for the ingenuity of the visually impaired community. They left with a newfound respect for the strength and adaptability required to face the challenges of living without sight.
