Project aims
Visual Impairment Heritage Partnership aims to deliver workshops alongside Eyes4Positivity, with individuals that have lived experience of visual impairment (VIPs). Using co-design heritage engagement strategies, and drawing on MOLA projects as case studies, the project aims to establish publicly accessible guidance on visual impairment inclusivity for the benefit of practitioners in the sector looking to work with or provide for VIP heritage audiences.

Project Plan
Four workshops with partner organisation will generate knowledge exchange and use co-design to study the feasibility of VIP inclusive methods within MOLA and the wider heritage sector. These will result in an accessible guidance document outlining best practice for VIP inclusivity through a range of engagement strategies.
