FIFTH EDITION - September 24 - 27, 2024 online and in presence activities
Cultural Accessibility: Principles and Methodologies for Cultural Heritage
The 2024 Young Professionals Forum programme will delve into best practices concerning universal accessibility to culture, its content, and its spaces, in alignment with the UN Convention and the EU Strategy for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.
In collaboration with national and international experts we will answer on the following questions to reflect on cultural accessibility and inclusive heritage conservation education together:
What does cultural accessibility mean?
How can cultural professionals make heritage and cultural sites accessible and educate others in heritage conservation?
Is it possible to reduce and eliminate the obstacles, gaps, and multiple inequalities that limit participation and accessibility to cultural heritage?
The primary objective of this new edition is to raise awareness and explore the diverse landscape of cultural accessibility, with a particular focus on libraries, archives, archaeological sites, museums, and educational initiatives for their conservation. By engaging with a network of experts, the Forum seeks to deepen understanding of this multifaceted subject and outline the skill set required for future cultural operators to advocate for inclusivity.
The aim of the Forum is to enable young cultural heritage professionals from all over the world to join an international community, improving networks and skills.
