The Chesterfield Equality & Diversity Forum would like to arrange a Five Senses Disability Awareness event for the local community. The aim of the event will be to increase understanding and empathy for individuals with sensory disabilities, by engaging participants in activities that simulate or highlight the challenges and experiences of those with sensory impairments. These activities could be tailored to specific senses (e.g. wearing glasses simulating different visual impairments, or a sound-dampening activity to simulate hearing loss) or incorporate all five senses.
