"Spektrum" project
The National Museum in Krakow is the leader of the "Spektrum" project under "Erasmus+ Youth. Action 2 - Strategic Partnerships". The NMK runs the "Spektrum" project drawing on the rich and long-standing experience of European partners in working with people on the autism spectrum. The main idea behind our efforts was to develop a strategy to make museums in Poland more friendly to people on the autism spectrum.
International project Partners and the National Museum in Krakow have the honor to invite you to the open day conference of the Spektrum Project.
This event is held to summarize more than two years of cooperation with partners from Belgium, GB, Spain, and Italy. As a result of workshop meetings, training, and study visit to project partner countries, a set of materials was developed. These tools help adapt cultural institutions to the needs of visitors with autism spectrum disorder.
The Project Spektrum summary is a part of the MNK open day celebration. A document called "Museum - People - Future" will be presented for the first time. The document describes MNK's social responsibility, accessibility, inclusion, and sustainable management commitments.
We would like to invite you to participate in the conference and workshops, prepared for employees of cultural institutions, local government units, and people representing organizations working with people with autism spectrum disorders.
Registration for the conference and workshops via the online questionnaire form.
