Çanakkale Accessible Culture Ecosystem
December 2021 – September 2022
ÇANAKKALE
In coordination of Erişilebilir Her Şey and in partnership with Troya Culture Association, Çanakkale Accessible Culture Ecosystem Project aimed to strengthen ten culture and art institutions in Çanakkale in the context of accessibility and disability. Within the scope of the project, disability perception and awareness, accessibility measures for access to culture and audio description trainings were held to increase culture and art organisations’ knowledge on accessibility and disability. In order to increase the capacity and motivation of institutions to take action, Çanakkale Accessible Culture Platform is formed after the trainings. By this way, sharing of experiences and good examples by the institutions are supported. Each participant institution is expected to make at least one culture and art activity accessible to gain accessibility reflex and practical knowledge after the trainings. Communication activities are carried out to ensure the participation of persons with disabilities in these accessible culture and art activities. Throughout the project, Erişilebilir Her Şey social media accounts served as an information resource for accessibility of culture and art and relevant posts were shared. At the end of the project, a culture and art network in Çanakkale, prioritising accessibility and participation of persons with disabilities, was formed.
