On 17.9.2019 in the art-gallery under the "Expanding the Center for Mutual Assistance, Integration and Support” of the National Rehabilitation Center for the Blind - Plovdiv" Project, was held the social experiment “A cup of coffee in the darkness” with a great interest by the visitors. The guests of the gallery had the opportunity to put on black eyeglasses, which absolutely limited their eyesight, thus engulfing their selves in the world of the visually impaired. After that, accompanied by an assistant, they had a cup of coffee and some sweets, while discussing the problems of the visually impaired people and the challenges in their every-day life. The participants expressed their feeling and impressions in an album and the prevailing feeling among them was a surprise by the overwhelming and powerful feeling of helplessness, which they felt.
