Trust Walk

Results | Messages
As a child at camp I was taken on my first trust walk. I was blindfolded and led around by another child and then we switched. Later on we were all blindfolded by the counsellors and taken on a group trust walk. We had to hold on to the person in front of us and were led around for a long time. Since then I have had many different experiences taking and giving trust walks. The individual method is often used in training people to guide the blind. They learn what it is like to be blind. This poll is to learn what experiences people here have had.
