Description
The central problem is the content and sensory inadequacy and the inaccessibility of common cultural content to children and young people with disabilities. Sensory differences complicate their participation in social interactions, events and movie screenings. Adaptations of content tailored to their needs are almost never applied in practice.
We will create two frameworks of methodological guidelines that would enable and facilitate the preparation and implementation of cultural content for PWDs and children and youth with DD. The guidelines and instructions for the audience will make cultural content accessible to marginalized groups and create an inclusive environment.
The project offers sensory cinema projections, photography and animation workshops, exhibitions of students'' works tailored to the target group in which they actively participate as consumers and creators.
The project will advocate for changes within cultural policies by developing participatory models for policy recommendations in consultation with vulnerable groups, encourage broader discussion, influence decision-makers in local government and sensitize the general public. Furthermore, we will ensure the strengthening of the capacity of partners in the field of communication skills and public advocacy.
The activities have the potential for a multiplier effect: the possibility of adapting to several cultural areas and applications to different geographical areas with the offered education and counselling.
Partners’ role; School and centres for education - development of guidelines, Pula Film Festival - organization of cinema screenings, association Metamedij - organization of a traveling exhibition, advocacy and coordination of the project.
