Dialogue Social Enterprise (DSE) creates exhibitions and workshops in either complete darkness – “Dialogue in the Dark” – or absolute silence – “Dialogue in Silence” -, facilitated by blind or deaf guides and trainers. In those environments, the blind or deaf guides and trainers are the high potentials , while non-disabled people are confronted with their limits. This role reversal and the encounter with disabled talents in a highly immersive space are the keys to enhance empathy and to shift ignorance/ discrimination onto interest/ respect. Dialogue-Programs help overcome disability-related prejudices, while empowering disabled people through employment.
