Hi All,

Just to say that i was really amazed at how my experience at DiD turned out. Before the tour, i didn't really think that it would be a big mind blowing experience and that walking in the dark would be easy enough. But that was the greatest lesson or confrontation i had - to be confident to walk without seeing what's in front of you and rely on other people to lead you. I had so much fun with my rowdy group and i wasnt so scared anymore.

I think DiD Singapore is a great tool of learning for the students to be creative in the ways to meet the needs of society or the less privileged in a fun way. And it inculcates a 'shock' factor which challenges the minds and views of society towards them which is what i love. I guess a lot of SE's meet the needs and simply do publicity to create awareness but it takes more enterprising and creativity spirit to transform the minds of society. So this is definitely a good model for us to learn. =))

Even to contribute, i believe BSZE can market this SE to other schools in Singapore or even the world about DiD in educational institutions as a tool of business and social learning. We can also contribute by extending DiD into different aspects apart from Dialogue in the Dark to maybe, Reading in the Dark using brail, Daily in the Dark where we live our daily lives in the dark for a period of 5 days to experience the changes we need to make in our lifestyles if we were blind one day..such things like this.

Thanks
Halena

Welcome to the blog of BZSE 2008 about our takeaways after visiting the one-and-only Dialogue-in-the-Dark (DiD) exhibition in Singapore, at Ngee Ann Polytechnic.
BZSE 2008 represents the pioneer cohort of students from the Diploma in Business & Social Enterprise (BZSE), the one-and-only such diploma programme in Singapore.

BZSE is housed in the School of Humanities in Ngee Ann Polytechnic. It's the coolest diploma ever - we learn about creating businesses with a social cause.

Our whole cohort had a really great tour in the DiD exhibition, and it was so fantastic we decided to post up our experiences as a blog to share the experiences we had during the tour.
We hope that after reading our reflections, you will consider coming down to DID yourself! Just as we have been impacted, we believe Your life will never be the same again. (=
