LA PICCIONAIA S.C.S.
Piazza Insurrezione 28 Aprile 1945
35139 Padova (PD)
As part of its territorial cultural design activity, La Piccionaia is committed to territorial and community development through the tools of theater and performing arts, research and experimentation of new languages and technologies related to innovative modes of production and fruition, for the active participation of individuals, groups and communities, involved in co-design and cocreation paths related to territorial issues or collective social interest. La Piccionaia develops and implements this type of participatory-creative devices particularly in the project field, at local, national and European levels, aimed at achieving objectives such as environmental education, community development, social inclusion, territorial enhancement.
One example is the development of a creative device called “Silent Play,” a dramaturgy of places project for the creation of multimedia, immersive and relational sound itineraries, which has found application at the local, national and European levels. It is a project that promotes in communities the awareness of their cultural and landscape heritage in a relationship of reappropriation and care, and that on the one hand gives it back to the community itself, to see its territory with new eyes, and tells about it to visitors making them protagonists of a unique experience. Among the Silent Plays realized: “Palladio between the lines” (for the Municipality of Vicenza); “Silent Play for Dante” (for the Municipality of Ravenna); “The Secrets of Lagole”; “The last Basalisch” (for the Dolomites digital museum Dolom.it).
La Piccionaia will contribute to the project from the point of view of promoting children’s and families’ access to cultural and museum heritage, co-designing with partners activities and products to engage younger people and to facilitate enjoyment in an intergenerational dimension.
Finally, La Piccionaia has great experience in organizing events, theater programs and festivals, and will therefore contribute to the project with its organizational capacity for the implementation of workshop activities and the public events for the visibility of the project and the dissemination of its results, in particular, those that will take place at the pilot sites.

Landesmuseum für Kärnten
Liberogasse 6

Austria
During the redesign of the kärnten.museum, attention was paid to eliminating structural, economic, social, cultural, language, and content barriers. For kärnten.museum, an unrestricted visit to the museum is essential for every guest.
To develop the kärnten.museum step by step in the direction of an inclusive museum, skills were gradually acquired with the help of representatives of self-help organizations, through awareness training and additional relevant training (cultural mediators for people with dementia, simple versus easy language, basics of digital accessibility, museum and inclusion: structural barriers, etc.).
In addition, employees of the State Museum of Carinthia are involved in the INCLUSIA event, which aims to bring together people with disabilities and schoolchildren from Klagenfurt to form friendships.
The kärnten.museum is an added value for the project and the partners involved, as it already has experience in structural and content accessibility and can be a point of contact in the planning phase, in the implementation of workshops or in day-to-day museum education for people with disabilities.
So far, no similar projects have been implemented by kärnten.museum, which has no previous experience in managing co-funded projects.
As a partner of ARGE Naturerlebnis Kärnten, a unique association of protected areas and tourism regions, Kärnten Werbung has been active in the field of sustainable tourism for more than 10 years. Since 2019, a special focus has been on barrier-free tourism offerings.
In Carinthian resorts, adventure programs are offered that take people with and without disabilities to special places in the local nature.
The PLACES project manager at Kärnten Werbung will be Elke Maidic who has been engaged in the promotion of sustainable and cultural tourism for the enhancement of Carinthia since 2020 and, over the years, has developed expertise in the field of marketing accessible offerings and digitizing these offerings.
