This publication brings together the results of two complementary
research strands examining both the demand and supply sides of cultural
accessibility in Türkiye, North Macedonia, and Bosnia and Herzegovina.
On the demand side, the research captures the lived experiences, perceptions,
IX
and expectations of persons with disabilities, their families, and caregivers,
highlighting the barriers they encounter when accessing cultural heritage.
On the supply side, the analysis focuses on cultural heritage and tourism
professionals, identifying the skills, knowledge, and institutional capacities
required to deliver inclusive cultural experiences

The booklet Principles for Promoting Access to Cultural Heritage for Individuals with Disabilities – Easy-to-Read Book has been prepared as part of the iNCLUSION Erasmus+ KA220-HED (2023-2-TR01-KA220-HED-000177708) project to address this issue by providing a clear, practical and evidence-based approach. Based on scientific research, international standards and inclusive design principles, it translates complex accessibility concepts into practical recommendations that cultural heritage institutions of all sizes and in all contexts can implement.
