People with intellectual disability

Cognitive accessibility is key to experiencing culture with autonomy and confidence.

If you work with people with intellectual disability, Apropa Cultura helps you organise accessible cultural outings, at social prices and adapted to the needs of the group.

Culture, without barriers

Even today, many people meet obstacles when trying to access culture: economic, social, or related to the accessibility of spaces and activities. Since 2006, Apropa Cultura has worked with cultural programmers to break those barriers down.
