Today, Marta Flórez is presenting in the “I Congreso de Ciencia Inclusiva” (I Inclusive Science Congress), which is taking place on 2-3 October 2023 in Madrid, organised by CSIC.
“Una Arqueología del Paisaje para tod@s” (A Landscape Archaeology for All)
The talk presents the ArqueoPirenaia Project. “Social transfer, didactics and mediation of heritage in a high mountain cultural landscape” (Nuria Valley, Eastern Pyrenees, FT-21-17298) aims to bring the results of research in landscape archaeology developed since 2010 in a unique area of high Pyrenean mountains to the public. It is a proposal for knowledge transfer and scientific dissemination whose main objective is to create new educational and heritage resources that allow society to discover the characteristics of the long occupation and anthropic exploitation of the Nuria and Coma de Vaca Valleys (Ripollès, Girona) and to approach and experience what the archaeology of mountain landscapes consists of.
The project incorporates in its actions the principles of universal accessibility and takes into account the needs of groups with functional diversity with the aim of turning ArqueoPirenaia into an inclusive experience of science and heritage dissemination.
Of particular note is the use of Navilens technology in the travelling exhibition created by the project. Navilens codes are one of the innovative elements presented by the project, as this technology makes content accessible to people with various disabilities, whether sensory, cognitive or intellectual.
Navilens is revolutionising the concepts of accessibility and universal inclusion in areas such as Smart Cities or museums, offering more autonomy and formats adapted to users: contextualised audio information, audio guides, sign language and pictograms. ArqueoPirenaia proposes a pioneering application in the field of the promotion of scientific culture with the aim that the informative resources generated can be enjoyed by any group that interacts with them.
The project has been funded by local institutions and has received support from the FECYT Foundation, the Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology, of the Ministry of Science and Innovation (FCT-21-17298).
