The main goal was to be able to try and understand how disabled people live their everyday lives and what struggles they encounter while doing for many people simple activities such as eating. International students could experience the challenges of an visually impaired person to eat properly and know how to help in this situation and other situations if needed. Spreading awareness about disabilities and how to include more people with disabilities into regular activities.
The international students had the opportunity to experience eating food as a visually impaired person and rely on their other senses. We used scarfs as blindfolds and guided them through the entire process. The whole event was in a spirit of how they feel after that experience and how they can help or include people with disabilities. We also invited a visually impaired person, an instructor from the Ostrava Tyflo center
