In the Dutch language there are many words that help us express what we see. At the same time only a few words exist to describe what we smell. For example, there is only one official smell word in the Dutch dictionary, namely: ‘muf’ (musty in English). This project teaches children to communicate more about experiences they have through their noses.

The inclusive reading table brings children a multi-sensory experience of a story. To read the story, children do not use their eyes to look at the pictures, but they use their nose to smell the story. Inclusive reading sessions are held and children can come to the reading table to explore smells, read (braille) and make a drawing. The reading table and the program are completely designed for children with a visual impairment. This way, all children can participate equally.
