The Education Department is involved in regular activities of exhibition visits and workshops with daily centres and cooperatives that welcome users with physical and psychological disabilities of various types, and with specialised centres such as the Fondazione Carlo Molo, which takes care of patients that are affected by aphasia.

Among the most interesting programs one was undertaken a few years ago together with the Italian Union for the Blind and Visually Impaired. A group from the Union has become loyal to the Fondazione, and visits our exhibitions and takes part in specific workshops regularly by now. In order to facilitate the access and understanding of the spaces and contents within the Museum, the Education Department has planned, in collaboration with Tactile Vision Onlus, a tactile map of the building, and the Biancoenero font is regularly used for the written materials, which is made up of specific characters that help dyslexics and visually impaired to read.
However, the most important result from the collaboration with UICI is the course of studies on the relationship between contemporary art and sensorial perception, which involves, on top of UICI and Tactile Vision Onlus, also PAV Parco Arte Vivente (Living Art Park), the Department of Architecture and Design of the Polytechnic of Turin and Tea Taramino, who is the curator of the biannual International exhibition Arte Plurale (Plural Art). On the web-site www.making-sense.it it is possible to view the work that was carried forward by the participants together with a group of blind people.
The Education Department of the Fondazione is available to start up projects that are characterised by being accessible to the entire public.

One meeting per exhibition is free for disabled groups, while if there is a wish to plan longer programs, from the second meeting onwards the price is €3 per person. Assistants are always entitled to a free entry.
