On October 26th, the workshop "APPROACHING ACCESSIBILITY IN MUSEUMS MANAGEMENT: How to develop inclusion strategies for target groups with special needs and disabilities" was held by ARATRO Galleria Gino Marotta at the University of Molise. The workshop, an essential part of the MONET PLUS project, won by ARATRO, involved capitalizing on the results of MONET, an INTERREG IPA CBC Italy-Albania-Montenegro project (2014/2020. Priority Axis 2 - Specific Objective 2.2). It saw the Contemporary Art Museum of the Molise University engaged in creating a network model among museums in the Ionian Adriatic Macro Region, spanning Albania, Montenegro, Puglia, and Molise. MONET experimented with new forms of cooperation between museums in a cross-border dimension to enhance the cultural and natural heritage of the involved areas through the involvement of young artists.

The initiative, focused on the relationship between art and accessibility, saw the participation of students, university and high school professors, cultural and museum operators, art and culture managers, and creative enterprises. A full day was dedicated to reflections and contributions from specialists in the field of culture and accessibility within the museum context, centered around the theme of the relationship between physical, mental, and social accessibility and museum structures, with eighty participants in attendance.
