MICHAEL ANAGNOS INITIATIVE
OUR MISSION
The ultimate goal is to stop the exclusion of blind public spaces, giving them the opportunity to access knowledge and culture.
ABOUT US
The initiative will apply 3d printing in order to make Greek museums and galleries fully accessible for the visually impaired. In collaboration with organizations for the visually impaired and museums/ galleries we design organize procure and facilitate those technologies that will give full access to people that have lost their vision or part of it. This initiative will do not only stop the social exclusion of blind people from museums/galleries/archeological sites but we also reignite the public dialogue for the use of public space from people with disabilities. This will happen by presenting to the public the idea that visually impaired can autonomously be part of our society without any obstacles.
The Initiative is supported by the Angelopoulos Fellowship Clinton Global Initiative University 2014
