To create an activity that had as main goal to raise awareness about blindness and disability
In the occasion of the Social Impact Days, an ESN international campaign to raise awareness on the creation of activities who might have an impact on international students and people life, we organized an Italian aperitivo. During the activity the partecipants, blindfolded, had to experience blindness and the use of the other senses to do things. In particular, different activities were organized comprising: guessing what partecipants were eating using taste; guessing specific spices or herbs using just smell; guessing some objects by touching them. Finally, a drawing game was made, dividing partecipants in teams in which one person per time had to draw something, blindfolded, and the others need to guess what the person is drawing.
The activity was widely appreciated by both international students and the volunteers, who might know each other in a different and funny way, learning also something about blind disability.
