participants
- Students value their health (especially sight) more.
- They are more tolerant to blind people and know how to help them when they for example see them crossing the street or getting on a bus.
- They now realize how hard everyday situations, such as paying with cash in the shops, may be difficult to blind people and they have also got familiar with some “life hacks” and gadgets blind people use.
The Invisible Exhibition gave the students a unique insight into life without sight as we were guided by a partially sighted person through seven distinct spaces, relying only on touch, hearing, smell, and balance. This immersive journey challenged our perceptions and made us more aware of the daily obstacles and skills involved in adapting to a world without vision. Although the experience was unusual and, at times, demanding, it was immensely rewarding, leaving each with a deeper appreciation for the resilience and ingenuity of visually impaired individuals. It was not only an enjoyable and memorable activity but also a truly eye-opening experience that can be wholeheartedly recommended to anyone seeking greater empathy and understanding.
