How much do we know about the world of the blind? How do they perceive the world around them? What professions are available to them? Do they see dreams?
Children will receive answers to these and other questions by visiting our interactive space Invisible World, where they will be immersed in a world of absolute darkness accompanied by a blind guide.

Children will get answers to these and other questions by visiting interactive rooms, where they will dive into the world of absolute darkness, accompanied by a blind guide. After the tour, students will have the opportunity to learn more about the everyday life of blind people.
Explaining the need for vision care to a child in the digital age is not easy, but it is possible!
The main thing is to find the right approach.
How does it happen ?
Groups up to 30 people go at the same time, dividing into 3 or 4 groups of 8-10 people. Excursions are held in Latvian, Russian and English.
Program description
Walking through five completely darkened rooms accompanied by a blind guide, students put themselves in the shoes of a blind person and begin to learn about the world using their other senses.
Walking from home to the museum, along a busy street, across a bridge that leads to a park, to a cafe, students get to know Latvian cultural values from the point of view of a blind person, and also think about the importance of design in a person's daily life.
Pupils hear various musical instruments and folk songs, fragments of popular Latvian films ("Mommy, I love you!", "Limousine in the color of John's night", "Emīla's misdeeds", "Nāves ēna", "Water bomb for the fat cat"), touch and try recognize the Latvian signs ("Jumis", "Māra žeja", "Zalktis", "Saules žeja", "Pērkons žeja"), which are located throughout the living room.
At the final stage, students receive 3D cards with various cultural objects of Latvia - "Rundāle Castle", "Freedom Monument", "Rīga Radio and Television Tower", "Rīga St. Peter's Church", "Rīga Cathedral" and try to recognize them by feeling the cards by touch and hearing descriptions of these objects.
At the end, the students have the opportunity to ask various other questions of their interest about the daily life of a blind person and their obstacles, if any.

The remaining amount can be paid on the spot in cash or via invoice.
Šis ir stāsts par toleranci, par iejūtīgu un līdzcilvēcīgu attieksmi vienam pret otru. Noteikti iesakām arī citām klasēm doties uz neredzamo pasauli, lai izmantotu savas maņas. Ieraudzītu savu iekšējo pasauli, lai novērtētu to, kas mums katram ir dots.
