??\u00a0Previous week on the Camino was full of extraordinary experiences. We were focusing on social inclusion and evaluating camino in the terms of accessibility.<\/p>\n
What does it mean?<\/p>\n
We tried to walk the camino as if we were blind! We used a kerchief or sleeping mask and tried to go trough part of the road with support of other volunteer to evaluate wether it is passable and to experience how it feels not to see where the road goes and be dependant on the other and on senses other than sight.<\/p>\n
To be honest?<\/p>\n
For me it was little bit difficult to trust and I must confess I cheated a little bit when the second volunteer wanted me to try to touch things that I did not see because I felt insecure when I was not sure what exactly it is and if it can potentionaly hurt me. Most of the times while walking I was able to trust and I passed without any problems. We even tried to run.<\/p>\n
We realised that the Camino is very accessible for the blind or shortsighted however for the people on wheelchair, there can be some troubles.<\/p>\n
?? La semana anterior en el Camino estuvo llena de experiencias extraordinarias. Nos enfocamos en la inclusi\u00f3n social y evaluamos Camino en t\u00e9rminos de accesibilidad.<\/p>\n
\u00bfQu\u00e9 significa?<\/p>\n
\u00a1Tratamos de hacer el camino como si fu\u00e9ramos ciegos! Usamos un pa\u00f1uelo o antifaz para dormir y tratamos de recorrer parte del camino con el apoyo de otro voluntario para evaluar si es transitable y experimentar c\u00f3mo se siente no ver por d\u00f3nde va el camino, depender del otro y de otros sentidos que nos sean la vista.<\/p>\n
\u00bfPara ser sincero?<\/p>\n
Para m\u00ed fue un poco dif\u00edcil confiar y debo confesar que hice un poco de trampa cuando el segundo voluntario quer\u00eda que tratara de tocar cosas que no ve\u00eda porque me sent\u00eda insegura cuando no sab\u00eda qu\u00e9 era exactamente y si me puede hacer da\u00f1o. La mayor\u00eda de las veces mientras caminaba pod\u00eda confiar y pasaba sin ning\u00fan problema. Incluso intentamos correr.<\/p>\n
Nos dimos cuenta de que el Camino es muy accesible para los ciegos o personas con poco resto visual, sin embargo, para las personas en silla de ruedas, puede haber algunos problemas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
