This series of presentations will foster and be an inspiration for increasing accessibility in our museums and finding new ways to accommodate people with different needs in museums. The first talk will start with Inclusive Youth Arts at Attenborough Arts Centre by Marianne Scahill-Paper and Hannah Pillai.
