Dinner In The Dark

TOGETHER's Dinner In The Dark program offers a unique and thought-provoking dining experience where guests are immersed in complete darkness. This immersive event aims to raise awareness and empathy for individuals with visual impairments. By temporarily depriving diners of their sight, the program encourages them to rely on their other senses, such as taste, smell, and hearing, to navigate the dining experience. This heightened sensory awareness fosters a deeper appreciation for the challenges faced by people who are visually impaired. Additionally, the program empowers individuals with visual impairments by providing them with meaningful employment opportunities as waiters. Read More
