What we do
Inclusion and accessibility are fundamental principles of the Erasmus + program. People with blindness and visiondisabilities often face barriers in the workplace, particularly in the theatre industry where employment opportunities are limited.
This project aims to address these issues by training producers, actors, directors, and stage technicians on how to create and deliver inclusive theatrical performances by adopting inclusive tools that can assist people with blindness and vision disabilities to participate in theatrical performances.
Opening the curtains to a world where creativity knows no boundaries, our project celebrates the symphony of inclusivity in the arts. In every act, we paint a canvas of possibilities where talent, regardless of sight, takes center stage.
