participants
The main aim of the activity was to challenge our senses and to try to identify ourselves with people who have some forms of disabilities, for example blind people who have to rely completely on their senses to recognize objects, by touching or smelling them. The goal was also to destroy "mental barriers" and to adopt for a while a different form of communication and expression.
We organized a series of activities in which the participants had the chance to challenge their abilities and senses. We blindfolded them and asked them to draw several things (an animal, a house, a famous painting,etc). Then they had to guess the flavourings of some spices only by smelling them; in conclusion we played charades.
There were 25 participants and they all enjoyed a lot this activity.
