Spanish National Research Council

The present project aims to bring science, and particularly archeology, to people with psychological disorders or physical disabilities, older adults, newcomers, social groups traditionally marginalized and people at risk of social exclusion. These groups of citizens are usually excluded from the outreach programs organized in museums and science parks. This project is devoted to them. Within the project are developed a set of participatory activities with which to learn – in a simple and playful way – about the people who inhabited the Italian and Iberian Peninsula several thousand years ago, during Prehistory and Classic History. The success of the project is assured by two interconnected reasons: the consolidated experience in this field, and the fact of involving a multidisciplinary team of researchers, educators, psychologists, communicators and social agents, all linked to prestigious institutions – such as the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), various associations for people with disabilities, the Down Syndrome Association in Catalonia, the Roman association Carabutsí and InterAcció in Barcelona, Caritas Roma-Italy, etc.
