Разработка и совершенствование доступных и качественных культурных сервисов для отдельных групп населения на территории Петрозаводского городского округа и г.Йоэнсуу

Achievements (EN):

The main objective of Culture Open has been to improve immigrants’ and the disabled’s access and use of local cultural services in Joensuu and Petrozavodsk. This has been achieved by carrying out a series of accessibility mappings of local cultural facilities, as well by the implementation of an inclusivity survey, which gauged respondents’ opinions on the functionality of the cultural services from target group representatives and stakeholders. The project has also developed a series of co-creative activities aimed at empowering target group representatives in experiencing and making culture. These activities have included inclusive performance groups made-up of disabled performers, cooperation with a multicultural photography club, training immigrants interested in becoming cultural professionals in Finland and the creation of a series of multicultural storyhour workshops hosted by immigrants. Moreover, the project has aimed to enrich the cultural co-creation in the cross-border area through artist exchanges between Joensuu and Petrozavodsk. Another significant part of the project, necessitated by the Covid-19 pandemic, has been the development and dissemination of accessibile communication guidelines. These guidelines have been utilized by the public, stakeholders and other projects. Culture Open’s success in reaching and engaging with the project target groups has been recognized by the Joensuu Disability Council, which awarded the project its Accessibility Award in 2019 and by the National Russian competition Intermuseum 2020, supported by the Ministry of Russia which also awarded the project its prize in 2020. Furthermore, the project was awarded the Karelia CBC Communication Award in 2020 in recognition for the project’s successful communication and visibility methods.
