Description of the tool
Participants are divided into groups of 3 people. Each of the member of the group must be a representator of special vulnerable group: one is deaf, 2nd is blind and the 3rd cannot speak with voice. The instructions are given in a way that the one who cannot use the voice for speaking will know the exact word that they are going to draw and try to explain the word to the group members. Together they should paint that abstract word. The painter is a blind person, the other 2 members have to help the blind one in painting. The main outcome of this activity is that participants have shared feelings of being a member of certain vulnerable group. It is important to point out that every person is unique and together people can make more and better by giving and receiving the help of each other.
