ABOUT THE PROJECT:

DIKULT – Accessibility and Inclusion as the Foundation of Inclusive Cultural Heritage and Tourism in Slovenia and Croatia is a cross-border project aimed at improving the accessibility of cultural heritage and tourism services for persons with disabilities, older visitors, and other users who face various barriers when visiting cultural sites. The project brings together Slovenian and Croatian partners to foster more inclusive cultural tourism. It focuses on enhancing the physical, digital, and communication accessibility of selected cultural heritage sites while developing solutions that enable visitors to enjoy more independent, accessible, and meaningful experiences.

As part of the project, the partners will assess the current level of accessibility at selected sites, develop digital guides and other accessible solutions, implement pilot activities, and prepare recommendations for improving the accessibility of cultural heritage across the cross-border region. Particular emphasis will be placed on involving persons with different types of disabilities and functional limitations in the planning, testing, and evaluation of the proposed solutions. The project contributes to the development of accessible and inclusive tourism while increasing the visibility of the cultural heritage of Slovenia and Croatia as an open and welcoming destination for all visitors.

The project improves the physical, digital, and communication accessibility of four cultural heritage sites (Slovenia and Croatia) for persons with disabilities, older people, and vulnerable communities.
