Italy Promotes a UN Event on Cultural Heritage and People with Disabilities
(ANSA) - GINEVRA, 26 SET - The Permanent Mission of Italy to the United Nations in Geneva organized the side event “Cultural Heritage and Collective Memory: Recognizing the Voices and Contributions of People with Disabilities.” The event took place during the Human Rights Council session and was promoted by Italy together with the other members of the Group of Friends on the Cultural Rights of Persons with Disabilities: Iraq, Cyprus, Mexico, Montenegro, Algeria, and Lebanon. In his remarks—according to a press release from the Mission—Ambassador Luigi Maria Vignali noted that accessibility cannot be reduced to the elimination of physical barriers alone: sensory, digital, and cognitive barriers must also be addressed so that people with disabilities can fully participate in cultural life. People with disabilities are not merely passive recipients or spectators of our cultural heritage: they are creators, innovators, and protagonists of our shared memory. Italy is committed to making its cultural heritage increasingly accessible to people with intellectual and psychosocial disabilities as well, through Easy-to-Read materials and sensory tours. At the same time, the Gruppo di Amici is working, together with its academic partners, to develop international guidelines on the cultural rights of people with intellectual and psychosocial disabilities. From culture to sports—drawing on Italy’s Paralympic experience as well—the principle remains the same: to value abilities, experiences, and contributions while overcoming stereotypes and barriers. “Nothing about us, without us.” A truly universal memory must recognize every mind, every voice, and every story, the press release concludes.
