Increasing the participation of Deaf people in the perception of culture
Making Culture Accessible for All
About the Project
Accessibility in culture ensures equal participation, expression, and enjoyment for all, including Deaf individuals. It promotes diversity, inclusion, and social cohesion, and upholds the fundamental right of every person to meaningfully engage in cultural life.
However, barriers in communication, access, and awareness persist. Cultural managers and event organizers often lack the knowledge needed to create inclusive environments.
As a result, accessibility in culture remains limited and uneven, isolating and excluding Deaf individuals from full cultural participation.
We want to change that.
Our Vision
To make a significant impact by pushing boundaries and reshaping conventions in the realm of inclusive cultural engagement. We emphasize the creation of innovative solutions to enhance audience involvement and promote the inclusion of Deaf individuals in global cultural events.
