MUSEUM ACCESSIBILITY AND PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES: THE CHALLENGE OF CO-DESIGNING PATHWAYS
Abstract
As the UN Convention on the Rights of People with Disabilities (2006) states, participation in cultural life, recreation, leisure and sport is a full right connected to the level of inclusiveness that people with disabilities can experience. Accordingly, scientific literature upholds how access to culture and social life can foster the Quality of Life of all people. With the direct involvement of people with disability through a participatory methodology, our research group co-designed, developed and tested innovative digital solutions incorporating multisensory technologies and accessible storytelling to create an inclusive museum experience. The findings of this study provide valuable insights for the development of inclusive design solutions in museum contexts, promoting technology integration to ensure equal opportunities of participation in social and cultural life.
