On 1 and 2 December, Manege, joined in on the All-Russian Action “Museum for All! Day of Inclusion”. In response to this action, participating museums from all over the country hosted events for visitors with disabilities, as well as their families, friends, and anyone interested.
On these days, actors invited to Manege read fairy tales for children and residents of charity foundations “Zvezdy detyam”, “Downs Centre”, and the central region’s center for social rehabilitation. Students at the “Anton tut ryadom” center and teenagers from the Jewish Scouts Center were part of the inclusive tours and worked in pairs. A separate tour was conducted for teenagers with autism. Within the educational program for volunteers “Equal Access”, “blogger on wheels” Natalia Kamolinkova gave a lecture on understanding individuality.

The goal of the “Museum for All! Day of Inclusion” action is to call the general public’s attention to the importance of equal-access cultural opportunities for everyone. The “Inclusion Museum” project’s team encourages the development of accessible spaces and the increased possibilities for participation in museum events for people with disabilities.
