Accessibility of Cultural Heritage and Practices of Collaboration with Communities

Accessibility to cultural heritage today represents the basic right of everyone to access and participate in the co-creation of cultural content. In the course, we will learn about the practices of cooperation in the creation of accessible content, and at the same time learn about the needs of people with mobile disabilities, sensory disabilities and learning disabilities (neurodiverse people) in an intersectional perspective (gender, age, ethnicity, etc.). We will familiarize with technical and other adaptations of spaces (including virtual spaces with the help of assistive technologies) and adaptations of presentations of cultural heritage. We will learn about socially engaged work and research in the field of social inclusion of persons from 'socially vulnerable groups' through cultural heritage.
