In May 2016, NoisyVision promoted a journey along the Via degli Dei, for the blind and partially sighted, The Gods Like It Yellow
The event was a resounding success, thanks to the help of the volunteers of the CAI Bologna East, Mario Fantini section and the support of many people and institutions of the villages we passed, including the municipal administrations.
Success also from the point of view of raising awareness on the subject of accessibility and mobility for the visually impaired, keywords of the #YellowTheWorld campaign, started by NoisyVision in 2014.
With the support of Appennino Slow, the initiative has become a repeatable format, with the name “In the Mountains we are all Equals”..
Here we are to announce a new event, which wants to resume the wake of these initiatives, since it has taken shape from synergies born during the trekking.
On this occasion we will collaborate with Nino Guidi, walker, Environmental Hiking Guide, founder of the Association Montagne di Legami, which offers, among many initiatives, trekking with donkeys.
Here we are, ready, to paint with yellow, or to make a new path accessible. We want to try this experience with donkeys, because if Gods like Yellow, we are sure that

A fantastic journey at the slow pace of the companions donkeys, a journey of discovery of nature through the senses, where the sight will lose importance, to make room for a deeper feeling, thanks to the presence of people with visual disabilities.
