about Kyiv Senses Tours and what interesting it is possible to touch in Kyiv
--Cones and fountains: How to Touch Kyiv | Weekend.Today Article
Families often book tours, so you have to think about how to entertain children. My idea was to close eyes with a scarf and touch different props in order to recognize them.
"Kyiv Senses Tours" project started with a cone. There are lanterns on the "Premier Palace" building and Andriyivsky Descent, stylized as Art Nouveau in the late 19th century. And I selected props that I gave the kids to touch, Yulia Bevzenko's "Seek" project also helped - mini-sculptures installed around the city.
How does it work? We stop at a place, the tourists are blindfolded, and I give them something related to history to touch. Or I ask them to divide into pairs - one blindfolded person and the other open-eyed person must lead them to the location. Then we take off the blindfold, and the person sees that he or she is in some cozy courtyard. I also give them some props to feel, then I take them away, and the person opens his eyes and has to find a similarly shaped object on the front of the house.
There is a demand, I have developed a number of other excursions like "Kyiv Senses: Fairy Tales", "Dovzhenko film studio senses: Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors movie". Often my excursions are booked for birthdays, so I developed a special program "Kyiv Senses: Birthday Party tour".
About Inclusion
Once a couple of blind people found me through the Internet and booked a tour for their wedding anniversary. That's when I realized that I had more to develop inclusiveness in projects.
