Workshop description:
The workshop is part of a larger project that aims to promote accessibility and usability of built environments, designed for accessible tourism: places, experiences, information. An accessible city is based on an organic development of these three aspects. To transform Sarteano in a welcoming city for everybody, we would like to build a system to overcome the challenges posed by physical and mental barriers/obstacles. In fact, a more accessible city is not only a concern for the disabled, it’s about involving the whole community in the creation of new routes and connections for a new perception of public space.
During the creative workshops led by professionals together with the young participants with different abilities, migrants, international and local artists, we will discuss innovative methods of reference user analysis. During the exploratory walk participants will reflect on the history of the Sarteano area, creating an experiential path accessible to all visitors, that can represent the essence of history and the marvels of the historic center. The outputs and reflections will lead to a symbolic document that will be delivered to the public and local authorities as the beginning of a long-term planning for an accessible tourism for Sarteano and the territory of the Senese Valdichiana.
The workshop will be accompanied by audio and video recordings and the possibility of interviews for a radio broadcast in collaboration with Bournemouth University (UK).
