~Klaus Schwab, Founder and Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum,

~ Zipi Livni, Israeli Foreign Minister

 

“Congratulations for the concept and its implementation which gave us the opportunity to feel world of the blinds and to respect the human capacity to overcome different kind of disabilities. I believe that as everyone should visit the Holy western wall in Jerusalem one should visit Dialogue in the Dark.”
~ Benjamin Nethanyhu, Former Israeli Prime Minister

 

“The half-day training session for our European Junior Managers met even our highest expectations. Afterwards, the impressions and the exercises in the dark were discussed, giving our colleagues a chance to analyse their leadership skills from a completely new perspective. The feedback of all 16 participants was very positive, and for the future we have decided to offer this training to our own colleagues.”
~ Heino Ploeger, Manager Personnel Development—Olympus Europa GmbH

 

“The learning effect is achieved by really listening to each other and by thinking together in a challenging environment. Both of these things found direct application at work.”
~ Herald Sun, Australia, 2007

 

“I am a great believer in Dialogue in the Dark. I am impressed by its innovativeness, its passion for inclusiveness and its commitment to change ordinary people's perception of the strengths and potential of the socalled ‘handicapped' people’.”
~ Dr. Tse Ka Kui, Chairperson, Hong Kong Social Entrepreneurship Forum

 

“Have you ever thought of how powerful your ears and touch have been? The Dialogue in the Dark is an amazing programme that gives all participants the peculiar experience of testing how one can communicate without sight. In the workshop, the sighted participants and the visually impaired workshop leaders and assistants are just “equal”. I was impressed to find myself getting the real feeling of becoming blind and be a part of the visually impaired community inside the Workshop. Dialogue in the Dark Workshop gives visually impaired persons the chance to
lead the sighted and their work experience will definitely conducive to a long-term career development in responsible positions. The programme
produces ”win-win” results in terms of mutual learning between the sighted and the visually impaired.”
~ Maureen Tam, Chief Executive, The Hong Kong Society for the Blind

 

“I participated in the DiD in the worst period of the financial turmoil when no one trusted each other. The workshop provided a backdrop of complete darkness while every participant had to rely on one another to complete their tasks, a total opposite of the counter-party concerns of the day. At the low of your self-esteem and confidence, the workshop provides a fresh reminder to everyone of us that together we shall succeed.”
~ Tse Kam Keung, Executive Vice President of State Street

 

“Dialogue in the Dark executive workshop helps me to think in new angles and handle things with new methods. Innovation is far yet close if we are willing to face changes.”
~ Ma Fung-Kwok, JP, Chairman, Hong Kong Arts Development Council

 

“The DiD program is a wonderful tool for team building. Among the manybenefits, people experience the importance of communication in full darknessand some even have to overcome their fear arising from a dark environment. “
~ Dr. Jane Lee, Head of College of Business & Finance, HKU SPACE
