An initiative fostering equal access to cultural and natural sites
GA number: 02C0467
Funded by: INTERREG Europe Duration: 31/03/2024-29/06/2028
Challenge
According to Eurostat estimates (2023), approximately 100 million people in the EU live with some form of disability, meaning nearly one-sixth of the population faces unequal opportunities compared to others. Ensuring equal access to all spaces, including participation in cultural life, is therefore essential. Cultural and tourism destinations should be designed to accommodate the varied needs of people with disabilities, promoting inclusivity and enriching the experiences available to all.
Innovation
OpenRegioCulture aims to enhance the implementation of regional development policies to improve the accessibility of cultural and natural resources for people with disabilities and varied needs. The initiative is based on a shared understanding of culture as a platform for social inclusion, promoting experience exchange and mutual learning.
