Vita

Valerie Stephani works as a cultural education officer. She focuses in particular on issues relating to participation and inclusion, as well as the structural opening up of cultural institutions. As a qualified designer, she spent many years working on the topic of ‘Design for All’ in the context of participatory planning processes. From 2016 onwards, she continued this focus at the Klassik Stiftung Weimar, linking it to the question of participation-oriented museum development. Through dialogue with her partners in the Verbund Inklusion network, she was able to develop various inclusion projects, as well as new organisational guidelines for this area, at the Klassik Stiftung.

Lecture

Embedding inclusion in museums on a long-term basis. Lessons learnt and best practices from the Inclusion Network

Although there is a consensus that museums and exhibitions should be designed and realised with inclusivity in mind, putting this into practice remains a challenge. Generally speaking, all institutions face similar challenges. Over a period of four years, seven museums had the opportunity to work together on sustainable solutions for inclusive museum and exhibition design as part of a funded project. The results will be presented by representatives of the museums and subsequently discussed with the audience.
