Inclusive & Accessible Environments for Disability (Phase 2) | Erasmus+ Blended Intensive Programme, April 14 - April 18
The Blended Intensive Programme (BIP) entitled Inclusive & Accessible Environments for Disability is hosted by the University of Bergamo (Italy) with the collaboration of the University of Picardie Jules Verne (France), the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar (Germany), and the University of Castelo Branco (Portugal). It is a short course for higher education students from partner institutions addressing basic concepts, models, criteria and indicators for promoting inclusion and participation of the persons with disabilities in the living environments (built, digital and natural), with a particular focus on the theme of accessibility and universal design.
Furthermore, it will develop a broad-spectrum knowledge of the technologies (mainstream and assistive) to support social inclusion in relation to the different types of disabilities. Finally, the Course aims at promoting in participants preliminary skills in analysing existing situations and designing environments and solutions from an inclusive and participatory perspective.
Phase 2: Intensive week in Bergamo (Italy) 14th-18th April 2025
Thanks to the collaboration with local experts and organisations, the BIP theoretical and practical sessions concern environmental accessibility and inclusion in different life contexts (built, digital, natural and urban) with particular attention to technologies.
