Evening programme

After our conference day on Wednesday 28th we will have a small get-together at the University.

A little evening snack (salads with bread and wine) will be served at the Ruusupuisto building for all conference guests.

Besides our get-together there is a possibility to visit Pimè Cafè. The café will be organised next to our get-together-venue.

"Pimè Cafè (Dark Café) is organised in totally darkened room, where customers can enjoy small beverages. Guides and waitresses of the café are blind. While this kind of environment is their everyday life, the customers will get a safe service even though the environment is dark.

The purpose of the cafeteria is to highlight what kind of challenges blind people have in their everyday life. For normally seeing person these might come as a surprise, when experienced themselves. Pimè Cafè is an easygoing and fun experience (about 20 min.), which makes you think, what it would be to live without your sight." (Translated from htttp://cafe.ksn.fi/fi/toiminta/)

Café can take small groups (about 8-10 participants) at the time. Café will be open 18.30-20.

Welcome!
