Our team at the GES-2 House of Culture aims to provide equal access to culture for all visitors, regardless of their individualities, experience or age.
Adapting our projects and developing special programmes, which are designed to meet the needs and expectations of people with disabilities, as well as of other underrepresented groups, we try to involve experts with relevant experience.
That allows us to enrich our understanding of the range of possibilities open to our visitors.
Our goal is to ensure that the building of GES-2, as well as all its projects and activities, are fully accessible to everyone. We also aim to enable a wide variety of people to participate in collective creativity and sociocultural interactions.
