Sažetak
This article describes the project “Blind Dinner.” Goal of the project was to sensitize students, teaching and professional staff to the needs of people who are blind or are visually impaired. The most important activity was a dinner with the participants, in an improvised restaurant in “complete” darkness. One of the workshops had an additional activity: Conduct of a part of the module of Informatics, in duration of one school hour. Twenty workshops with a total of approximately 520 participants were conducted. During the projects, data was obtained on space orientation, anxiety, reactions to anxiety, and speech volume in communications, fine motor skills during performance of different activities, speed of learning and other information. Participants of the workshops experienced feelings of eating a meal when blind and understood the difficulties blind people encounter in everyday activities. Conducted elements of teaching Informatics in complete darkness were accomplished in a surprisingly correct atmosphere. .Students/people with special needs, even blindness, can study and solve assigned tasks, although it requires more will power, patience and time from them. For success, they need help of others. A workshop with elements of teaching informatics was conducted with a group of first grade high school students.
