Description

BLIND

SPEEDFRIENDING 👥

Can you imagine what is it like to meet new people but without seeing them? Well, this is what a person with blindness experiences everyday and this is the opportunity to experience it with us in order to understand it better.

 

 

BLINDART 🥽🎨

 

What it's like to create something from pure imagination, without seeing what your hands are doing, but feeling the material and getting a sense of shapes. Model sculptures and figures with us or make impressions of objects of which you can only guess by feeling what it could be.

 

 

BLIND TASTING 🥽🍎🍫

Missing one sense often leads to the improvement of other senses for example the smell or the taste. Try it out with us how it is to have an image of the taste without seeing the food. Are Coca Cola and Fanta really different in taste? Is there a big taste difference between an apple and a pear? How are the consistencies?

*of course all our products are vegan and we will ask you about possible allergies beforehand

 

 

AUDIO DESCRIPTIVE

SHORT MOVIE 🔊📽

 

We will show you a short descriptive audio video on the topic in question where you can learn moreabout the subject and gain more awareness about it.

 

 

OBSTACLE PARKOUR

WITH PARTNER 👩🏽‍🦯👨🏻‍🦯

 

Daily life often offers many obstacles. How often do we stumble because we overlook the edge of the board or run in front of lanterns or bump into other people because we didn't consciously notice them? People with blindness often need to rely on others, someone who pulls them aside and accompanies them through everyday life. Test your blind trust in your fellows here and let yourself be blindly guided.

 

 

APPROACHING HANDS 👐

 

Recognize someone without ever having seen them? Feel the hands of the person opposite you, are they particularly cold? Are they wearing rings? Are the fingernails long or short? What is the skin like? Rough or soft? Develop a sense of unique features and details just by touch and experience what it's like to recognize someone just by their hands.
