The vi facilitator organises a trip into the woods, from the morning to the late afternoon.

Where? Somewhere around the city/town, with a good path to walk.

Who? Maximum 6 blind people with a sighted guide each.

If the blind people who have been enrolled have already have a friend to take with them, that's fine; if not, you can find volunteers who want to support.

Sighted participants can swap places and wear blindfolds to experience the walk from a different perspective. If amongst the participants who are blind there is one with a guide dog, then the sighted blindfolded participants can be guided by the blind participant who has a guide dog.

To experience a common activity without using sight.

Good walking shoes adapted to the environment of the walk, blindfolds and white canes.
