Welcome to join us on Ulysseus and COMPASS webinar where we will introduce new solutions for boosting accessibility and inclusiveness in cultural heritage.

Ulysseus ​Arts, Tourism and Heritage Innovation Hub will host the webinar titled "Introducing new solutions for boosting accessibility and inclusiveness in cultural heritage"​ 

The achievement of full accessibility and inclusiveness within heritage is essential for achieving the UN Agenda 2030 and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). Nevertheless, the enormous potential is still underestimated on a practical level, and high impact applications are yet to develop. What does it mean then being highly inclusive and promoting accessibility in an urban context? Is it different from a natural environment? And what is the role of the cultural heritage in this framework? 

The boost of digitalisation and technological solutions are the ultimate responses to an increasing demand for both audience development and activities of monitoring. Then, what are the more feasible options, and which are the side effects of this development? 

The webinar will address these topics reflecting on the different meanings of ‘accessibility’ and ‘inclusiveness’ in different contexts, opening a dialogue on their challenges and opportunities.

When: 18th of January, 17.30-19.00
