A 2017 study carried out by the project initiators the Wrocław Cultural Centre shows that, despite clear guidelines for making culture accessible to people with disabilities, it is also necessary to provide appropriate qualifications and skills for those cultural professionals who would adapt the current offer to the needs of the people with hearing and visual impairments.

The project partners are convinced that every citizen of the EU has the right to equality, non-discrimination and the opportunity to take an active part in cultural activities, which can only be achieved through the representatives of cultural institutions by ensuring that audio descriptions and subtitles are available in all cultural events and for all cultural products.

The main goal of the project:

To improve the qualifications and skills of the culture employees in adjusting the cultural offer and creating audio description and subtitles for cultural consumers with hearing and visual impairments.

The project will implement the following tasks:

• to carry out research into the needs of the visually and hearing impaired in relation to the cultural environment (workshops will also be led by visually impaired people, as well as solutions from other countries, such as the Spanish "didu" method);
• to improve the skills and qualifications of all project participants from partner organizations in the creation of audio descriptions and subtitles for the cultural offer;
• to develop a tailor-made cultural programme project that integrates all groups of society;
• to encourage the introduction of audio descriptions and subtitles into the cultural offer created by the project partner organizations.

The project will host several workshops and seminars in all project partner countries on audio description and subtitling for cultural events in the fields of audiovisual art, visual art and performing arts.

The project is implemented with the support of the EU ERASMUS+ programme funding.
