Final Dissemination Event of the Digital Spektrum Project
On 9th January 2026, the Digital Spektrum project will conclude with its Final Dissemination Event, hosted at MACRO – Museo di Arte Contemporanea di Roma.
The event will bring together museum professionals, researchers, cultural practitioners, and international experts to reflect on how digital skills and technologies can foster cultural inclusion and wellbeing, with a specific focus on museum users with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
The morning session will introduce the project’s objectives and key outcomes, coordinated by Università di Roma Tor Vergata, followed by presentations from project partners in Italy, Spain, and France, highlighting how Digital Spektrum activities have been implemented across different national and institutional contexts.
A central moment of the event will be the presentation of the Digital Spectrum Toolkit for Museum Professionals: a practical, open-access resource designed to support museums in developing inclusive, technology-enhanced practices for engaging neurodiverse audiences. The toolkit’s structure, key features, and guidelines for use in museum settings will be illustrated through concrete examples and demonstrations.
In the afternoon, the event will open to a broader international perspective with keynote contributions from experts working at the intersection of arts, health, wellbeing, and social inclusion, followed by a roundtable discussion entitled
“Supporting Wellbeing through Digital Tools: Inclusive Museum Practices”.
This dialogue will explore how digital tools can act as mediators for access, participation, and emotional wellbeing in contemporary museum environments.
The Final Dissemination Event represents not only the conclusion of the Erasmus+-funded Digital Spektrum project, but also an invitation to museum professionals and cultural institutions to continue experimenting, collaborating, and innovating in the field of inclusive museum education.
