Description
Aim of the event: 
  • Raise Awareness
Goal of the event: 
Goal of the event was to raise awareness about the problems that visually impaired people are facing everyday. We wanted to understand them physically and mentally. We tried to eat without seeing and it was way harder then we thought.
Short description of the event: 
We had a dinner during which we blindfolded ourselves and couldn't see anything. We tried to understand the difficulties of being blind. We decided to eat hamburgers because we thought that it would be easy, but we were wrong. Not being able to see was much more difficult than we assumed. It was so rough at the beggining, but then we get used to use our hands to find the things and put them back without spilling anything. After we finished eating, we realized that how lucky we are. In our daily lives, we can't discern this kind of 'little things'.
How did your event go?: 
It was nice but because of the mid-term week, except 3 of us, none of the esners in our section could join us. However, we reached our aim and we want to do it again.
