Description
Aim of the event: 
  • Raise Awareness
Goal of the event: 
To sensitize Erasmus students to the problems associated with being blind and show them how it can be difficult to eat a meal when one cannot see anything.
Short description of the event: 
During Dinner in the dark Erasmus students had the opportunity to face the challenge of eating when they didn't see anything. During the event the participants had their eyes covered with a special band so that they could not see anything.
Additionally the dinner took place in a darkened room to make it even more difficult task. Thanks to this event students could experience something new and see how food tastes when they do not know what they are eating. During dinner in the dark students also could meet new people in an unusual situation. All the profit from the event were donated to the foundation associated with blind people.
