In-TOUCH, will provide multidisciplinary training to make the artistic and cultural heritage inclusive for people with visual disabilities. Specific objectives are - to increase the hard and soft skills of professionals (haptic perception, narrative language, empathic skills); - to bring the artistic and cultural sector closer to the potential of 3D printing and assistive technologies; - to involve stakeholders; - to obtain a recognised and usable training pathway.

In-TOUCH envisages the following activities: - Management and Coordination to ensure effective management and monitoring and to assure the achievement of objectives (A1-12 months): - Creation of the In-TOUCH training model to implement the training kit and methodological guidelines (A2-5 months). - Training and Experiential-Laboratory pathway to implement the In-TOUCH model (A3-7 months). - Immersive Events of Cultural Accessibility and Communication to disseminate the results (A4-12 months).

In-TOUCH will provide an improvement of the hard and soft skills outlined in the proposal and evaluated through quantitative and qualitative criteria. The tangible results will be: -a digital archive available as OER containing the training materials and the technological and 3D outputs realised during the experiential-laboratory pathway; -a blended training course; -realisation of the Immersive Events; letters of interest with stakeholders interested in the project and in networking.
