Section of Geology
The project was co-funded by Fondazione
cARiTRo (Bank Foundation of Trento
and Rovereto) and Museo delle scienze
di Trento. The project involved blind and
visually impaired people to geological sciences
with the prupouse to reduce their
disability and make the naturalistic issue
more accessible and actual. Through a
network of partnerships with organizations
working on the safeguard and research in
the disability field (istituto per la Ricerca, la
Formazione e la Riabilitazione and unione
italiana dei ciechi e degli ipovedenti),
the design of natural pathways (Azienda
Forestale e Provincia Autonoma di Trento)
and technology instruments (Fabrica
ludens spin-off Fondazione Bruno Kesler)
was created an open-air didatic pathway
that explain the geology of Trentino and
severel educative activities were carried
out on field and inside exposiotional area
of Muse. our project involved people
with ages ranging from 5 to 80 years, including
people who were borne blind and
people who lost the sight in their infancy,
in youth or in mature age. in these project,
geology has been the vehicle to pull
down physical, psicological, environmental
and cognitive barriers that follow the
acute visual impairment, with the aim to
reduce disability obstacles and to facilitate
the integration into the cultural fabric.
