Guateque In-Capaz

*** TELEGRAM GROUP: https://t.me/joinchat/AAAAAAx8hLqaWpeFItVpqw 

We have created a Telegram group to start coordinating everything, if you are a collaborator, join us!

Project description:

Guateque In-capaz is a multi-sensory activity with a ludic and inclusive character which aims to transcend the limits of the word “dissability”, putting aside the taboos that surroud the so called “special needs”. 

Synopsis:

Through a process of experimentation and collaborative learning, the participants in the workshop will be able to open their minds to the fact that there is not just one way of doing things but many and very diverse. This way we aim to raise awareness about how different skills condition the way we inhabit the city, breaking the barriers set by inaccessibility and lack of adaptive solutions and building, all in all, a more inclusive, empathic and safe environment for every citizen.
