Workshops
Artistic Program for Persons with Disabilities

The Artistic Program for persons with disabilities, introduced by Bibliotheca Alexandrina in collaboration with Hanns Seidel Foundation, continued its success for the third consecutive year. A series of various artistic workshops were carried out for different groups of persons with disabilities.

2019-2021

The workshops were organized for different groups of persons with disabilities including children with autism, persons with visual disabilities, and children with down syndrome. The program aimed at helping the participants express their inner conflicts and develop new skills that could potentially help them professionally. It worked on developing the artistic and cultural awareness of persons with disabilities in a constructive environment focusing on their means of expression. The program added cinematic workshops and a tailored ToT program designed especially for artists with disabilities to enhance their skills and qualify them for the labor market in the cultural sector.
