Cultural events for persons with disabilities
Culture contributes to the development of society as a whole and to social cohesion and integration, as well as building and reflecting on collective identities
Cultural contents must be equally committed to physical and cultural access to all members of society.Inclusion and encouraging and supporting persons with disabilities as creators of culture and users of cultural offerings, is an important focus area of the Ministry of Culture and Media of the Republic of Croatia.
Public calls are used to finance programmes of associations of citizens with disabilities, as well as programmes of cultural institutions aimed at making cultural content more accessible to persons with disabilities, educating staff and organising cultural-artistic content adapted for persons with disabilities.
Public calls for financing programmes are available on the website of the Ministry of Culture and Media
Special support is also provided for investments in eliminating architectural barriers for the access of people with mobility difficulties. Today, museums, galleries and theatres cannot obtain their projects for renovation and/or construction approved without meeting accessibility standards.
