Ever wondered how the visually-impaired experience their surroundings? Or how you can learn to be more empathetic towards their needs?
Follow us on an adventure at Dialogue in the Dark (DiD) Singapore, a safe space designed to reverse the traditional roles of the blind and the sighted!
As a participant, you would have the opportunity to be guided around pitch-black environment by a visually-impaired guide. Experience navigating your way through a boat cruise, walk in the park and going to a cafe in complete darkness.
All our Adventures are FREE, and the $2 collected would be refunded to you at the door. :)
Yes, this means that instead of paying the usual DiD entry fee of $15 for students and $25 for adults, you get to go on this journey into a world without sight for FREE!
