Digital Storytelling workshop for museum professionals in Paris

As a member of the Advisory Board, I will join the Digital-Spektrum project team for a workshop at the Petit Palais in Paris, on Friday 24 January from 14:00 to 17:00 CET, to explore Digital Storytelling as an inclusive approach for audience engagement.

The priority of the Digital-Spektrum project is to promote inclusion, diversity, and accessibility in all areas of education, particularly educational experiences that take place in museums. One of the main objectives of the Digital-Spektrum project is to provide museum staff with digital skills to design inclusive museum experiences with and for people with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).

Agenda:

1. Presentation of the partners working on the Digital-Spektrum project, funded by the EU Erasmus+ Programme, KA2 for Adult Education: Università degli Studi di Roma Tor Vergata (Italy), Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya (Spain), Via Artis NGA (France) (https://www.digitalspektrum.eu)
2. Presentation of the Digital-Spektrum project by Antonella Poce, Professor in Experimental Pedagogy (University of Tor Vergata, Italy)
3. Presentation of the collaboration between Via Artis NGA and the Ikigaï association, a specialist in neurodevelopmental disorders in education and culture, by Véronique Dalmasso, Teacher in Arts and Literature (National Higher Institute of Teaching and Education – University of Paris-Est Créteil)
4. Testing the prototype of the educational kit co-created by Via Artis and Ikigaï to raise awareness among museum staff about neurodevelopmental disorder (NDD) audiences
5. Introduction to Digital Storytelling for the cultural inclusion of NDD audiences with Antonia Liguori, Professor of Participatory Storytelling and Public Policy (Teesside University, United Kingdom)
6. Presentation of the online learning platform developed by the Digital-Spektrum project partners.
