The aim of the project is to find solutions and to map them for pople with movement and access difficulties (disabled, elderly, young families with children) so that they could visit tourism attractions, architecture and monuments.
The project is scheduled to visit during the partnership affiliated organizations and to explore cultural heritage, accessibility solutions, and exchange experiences. As a result the project improves the understanding of the owners and operators of the cultural heritage about the nature of accessibility and design for all and the need to move in the direction that accessibility for different sections of the population would be guaranteed.
During the project several meetings will take place and during meetings the solutions are found how to explain better the need for accessibility to the cultural values, routes are completed, which either already have or will cause people with motion problems to visit cultural values.
The project is targeting people with motion problems (the direct visitors of the accessible cultural values). And the other target group are the administrators of the public cultural values (tourism objects and sites, public buildings, schools etc) who are interested in their objects to improve and be accessible and to work out visiting routes.
The first meeting of the project “The history for me and for you” was held in Latvia from 10th to 11th August 2012. SUSTENTO entertained the project partners. On the first day the partners met in the SUSTENTO office and the tour to Rundale castle took place where access for people in wheelchair was studied. On the second day Gunta Anca gave an introductory lecture on the project, presenting the project requirements, deliverables and objectives. Visits to other project partners were put in place. The Latvian Museum of Foreign Art was visited, which was established a year ago in an old stock exchange building.
