(Please note that the following overview content is from the original platform)
Inclusion in the MuseumThere are many different ways to enable people with disabilities to participate in the arts and access the relevant facilities. The inclusion experts in this tutorial share their experience and offer guidance and ideas for necessary actions and desirable approaches to improving accessibility.People with disabilities encounter various barriers when visiting a museum. These are found when gathering information, planning, getting there, and of course during the actual visit and the rest afterwards. You can remove some of these barriers yourself or prevent them from arising in the first place - often no special budget is needed for this, and sometimes it helps to have a concept that is worked to and is familiar to all employees.With an awareness of where and how barriers often occur, you can create a space in which the majority of visitors feel comfortable. In this course you will get to know different perspectives. These are provided by the experts in the videos themselves and/or by colleagues from their associations or teams. You will learn important dos and don'ts for dealing with diverse audiences as well as examples of the positive impact of what has already been done.The focus of the course is on...developing and allowing for creative approaches in order to create more accessibilitycreating a barrier-free space for diverse groups of visitorsa real, exemplary inclusion conceptdealing with the different needs of a diverse audienceWith...Stefanie Wiens, PlatzDa!
