“Museums for all”

Building on scientific and technological advances in neurodevelopment, the “Museums for All” event aims to promote inclusivity in museums for children and neuroatypical individuals with associated learning disorders (dyspraxia, dyslexia, ADHD).
More generally, it aims to raise public awareness about these disorders, inform about the latest solutions for early diagnosis, and guide towards the most appropriate therapies.
The “Museums for All” event also aims to encourage space design students to develop innovative solutions in inclusive design.
Program
- 5:30 PM: Welcome cocktail followed by “an immersive virtual reality experience of a dyslexic person” (Bosco garden and library)
- 6 PM: Scientific conference with O-Kidia on the challenges surrounding neurodiversity, with mediation by artist Janna Zhiri, alumna of Villa Arson (in the main auditorium)
- 7:30 PM: Exhibition of projects by students from the École de Condé for the “Inclusive Space Design Challenge – Museum Edition” (Villa Arson Art Center | Becoming Ocean exhibition)
Partners
Driven by a European program, this project is coordinated by Dowel Innovation, which has mobilized the following local organizations to organize this event, serving as a pilot phase and initiating a larger local and regional initiative on inclusivity in museums.
- O-KIDIA: O-Kidia is a Deeptech-labeled startup that aims to become the digital clinic for neurodevelopmental and associated mental health disorders dedicated to children and adolescents.
- École de Condé de Nice: Condé is a reference school in the fields of design, illustration-animation, photography, and heritage restoration. The École de Condé Nice houses high-level training programs, covering all design specialties from Bachelor to Master.
- Pop 06: POP06 is an association that supports children with learning disabilities and their parents by organizing educational workshops, conferences, and discussion cafes.
Special Mention
- Smile and Learn: Smile and Learn puts technology at the service of education to universalize access to personalized and quality learning, improving the process for all children, including those with special needs. The virtual reality simulation is made possible thanks to the contribution of Smile and Learn, which provided the video used in the Museums for All project.
