Museu Etngoràfic de Ripoll
The project between the Ripoll Ethnographic Museum and the Fundació Map aims to foster active participation and full integration of people with special abilities. With an innovative approach, a unique collaboration has been established to train individuals supported by Fundació Map as museum guides. Through this initiative, members of the foundation become living transmitters of cultural heritage, sharing their perspectives and knowledge with museum visitors. The project not only provides meaningful opportunities for people with disabilities but also enriches the visitor experience with authentic and diverse narratives. Activities are designed to be fully accessible, with specific adaptations to ensure the full participation of everyone. This initiative exemplifies a commitment to inclusion and valuing all voices within the community, transforming the Ripoll Ethnographic Museum into a space that is genuinely inclusive and enriching for all. The project has a profound and positive impact: it provides people with special abilities a unique opportunity to play an active role in society as cultural guides, promoting their autonomy and integration.

Hospitals i centres penitenciaris i sociosanitaris de les comarques gironines
The “A tocar” project is a series of concerts and workshops held in hospitals, penitentiary centres, and social-healthcare facilities in the Girona region. The aim of the project is to reach those who, temporarily or permanently, are deprived of the universal right of access to culture. By bringing music directly to people who do not have access to these experiences, the project provides opportunities for emotional development and well-being, fosters connections and empowerment, and helps improve the well-being and quality of life of participants.
