         <description><![CDATA[<div>0. Become aware of where you are at this exact moment.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;Observe the space around you in detail (if you are in a closed space,&nbsp; where are the walls and the doors? the windows? What objects are around and where, what is their shape and size?&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;Imagine the whole space in your head like a map, where can you get a glass of water? Is it in the same room or do you need to go to another room?&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;If you are in your house, imagine the whole place and if you are in a space that is not so familiar to you, take a short walk around it and find where you can get a glass of water while marking the space (door, objects in space, your steps…).&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;**pay attention to potential obstacles on the way<br><br></div><div>1. Come to your starting position (the place you are/were while going over this lesson). Close your eyes or even better if you have a scarf/piece of cloth that you can use - blindfold yourself.&nbsp;<br><br></div><div>2. Take some time to imagine the space around you and how and where you need to move to be able to come to the place where you will have to search for a glass and then pour some water in it.&nbsp;<br><br></div><div>3. Start moving towards your goals&nbsp;<br><br></div><div>4. Use sound, hearing, touch and your body to help you out in this process. Be gentle and try not to hurt yourself on the way!<br><br></div><div>5. Have fun exploring how blind and visually impaired persons navigate simple daily tasks :)<br><br></div><div>6. When you get your glass of water – take a selfie and upload it to the platform 😊<br><br><br></div>]]></description>
