Celebrating World Sight Day with "Crave in the Dark"
"Crave in the Dark" was one of the world’s most exciting life-changing experiences that took place on Saturday, October 14th, 2023. The event was a collaboration between Dialogue in the Dark Egypt and Crave, in celebration of World Sight Day and was sponsored by Madinet Masr. The initiative was in support of the visually impaired, aiming to improve their livelihoods, raise awareness on the topic, and work towards creating more accessible communities for them.
Participants entered a darkened Crave branch on the day of the event, where they were asked to indulge in an authentic food experience. The duration of the 3-course experience was 90 minutes. During the event, individuals had the opportunity to explore unseen surroundings and learn to perceive their environment through the senses of touch, taste, smell, and sound. Guided by blind or visually impaired individuals and assisted by a white cane, participants rediscovered different environments in absolute darkness. The donation made during the event contributed to the overall goal of supporting the visually impaired community and fostering more inclusive communities.
