Blindfolded. That’s how it begins at Dialogue in the Dark Singapore. A unique experience awaits you.
Dialogue in the Dark Singapore isn’t just a museum. It’s a transformational journey. Located within Ngee Ann Polytechnic this remarkable center opened in 2009. It’s a world-first. It’s the only Dialogue in the Dark exhibition housed within an educational institution.
Imagine stepping into absolute darkness. Guided by a vision-impaired facilitator you’ll navigate everyday scenarios. You’ll cross a street. You’ll explore a market. You’ll even sail down a river. All without sight. Your other senses will heighten. You’ll learn to ‘see’ in a completely new way.
More than 20000 visitors annually experience this. It’s not just about empathy. Dialogue in the Dark Singapore aims for inclusion. The darkness levels the playing field. It breaks down barriers of race class and religion. It even diminishes organizational hierarchies.
The program offers more than just the Signature Tour in the Dark. There’s Makan in the Dark a dining experience in complete darkness. Corporate workshops help teams build trust and communication. Even programs in the light offer insights into the lives of the visually impaired.
Dialogue in the Dark Singapore employs and trains vision-impaired individuals. They are guides trainers and motivational speakers. The center fosters valuable experiences for students. Interns gain skills in social enterprise management.
Dialogue in the Dark Singapore isn’t just an attraction. It’s a social enterprise. It’s a learning center. It’s a place where understanding blossoms in the absence of sight. It is a place of transformation. A place you will not forget.
