Exploring accessibility in audience engagement: the Universal Art Design model
On September 24th, during the first autumn meeting of our inclusion and accessibility working group, we discovered and compared two models for inclusion in culture and the arts, both developed by ENCC members.
Katarzyna Pągowska presented the Universal Art Design model developed by Wojewódzki Ośrodek Animacji Kultury and inspired by the architectural concept of universal design. Then, Hanna Brotkin introduced participants to the accessibility work carried out by the Association of Children's Culture in Finland in the framework of the national Art Testers cultural education programme.
Meetings of this working group are open to all cultural actors interested in the topic, be they ENCC members or non-members.
