Join us for a workshop of neurodiverse persons and the staff of the Arsenał Municipal Gallery Poznań. Our objective will be to develop a recommendation for the accessibility of the gallery space, taking into account the needs of people on the spectrum of autism. The meeting will involve a guided tour and a discussion. At the end, we will collect our reflections and conclusions in a graphic form chosen by the participants. During the workshop, the participants will also prepare pins with a name or a motto. The meeting will be co-chaired by people having experience in supporting people on the spectrum of autism.
