There is an old Indian saying; ‘when I close my eyes, the world disappears’, which brings up questions, such as ‘what is the world?’ Where and when does it emerge?

One of the activities will be a walk during which participants will assume the roles of a person who can see — the guide — and a person who cannot see, but decides which path and direction to take.
