INCLUSIVE TOOLS FOR ASSISTING PEOPLE WITH BLINDNESS AND VISION DISABILITIES TO BE EMPLOYED IN THEATRICAL PERFORMANCES | Erasmus+theavios.eu

People with blindness and vision disabilities often face barriers in the workplace, particularly in the theatre industry where employment opportunities are limited. This project aims to address these issues by training producers, actors, directors, and stage technicians on how to create and deliver inclusive theatrical performances by adopting inclusive tools that can assist people with blindness and vision disabilities to participate in theatrical performances. The project will be implemented over a period of 18 months.The objectives we would like to achieve are:
- To promote the use of inclusive tools that enable people with blindness and vision disabilities to participate in theatrical performances as actors, directors, and backstage crew.
- To train theatre professionals, performers, actors, directors, and stage technicians on how to use these inclusive tools effectively.
- To raise awareness among theatre companies, and disability organizations on the importance of inclusiveness in the theater industry and promote the employment of people with disabilities.
- To promote the social inclusion of people with vision disabilities through cultural activities.Inclusion and diversity:

The project will aid in eliminating workforce gaps by lowering the barriers to employment for those with disabilities in the theater business.Employability:
