Accessibility = team play | Recipient’s journey to the institution | meeting

Every visit to a cultural institution is a journey, the stages of which begin even before you cross its threshold. How can institutions ensure accessibility at each stage of this journey? What challenges do audiences with different needs face, and what can we do to make their experience more complete?

Based on the “Accessible Culture Model,” we will focus on the “Audience Journey” and discuss how to plan and implement cultural activities that take into account the diversity of needs at each stage of the interaction – from getting information about the event, to purchasing tickets, to participating, to post-event reflections.

During our meeting, together with Artur Bylinski – a social activist who breaks down language barriers related to blindness on his Becoming Blind Tutorials channel – we will look together at “Stages of the Audience Journey,” examining how institutions can create more accessible spaces and programs. We will reflect on the challenges that can arise at each stage of the journey and look for solutions to push the boundaries of accessibility for all participants. The meeting will also become an ideal opportunity to discuss, share experiences and reflect together, because accessibility is, after all, collaboration!

We invite to the meeting people who are close to the accessibility of culture:

• coordinators and coordinators of accessibility,
• experts and experts of accessibility,
• self-advocates and self-advocates.
