The CV MARQ Foundation is once again organising a week of activities to commemorate the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, which will be celebrated on 3 December all over the world. Every year and through the Didactics, Accessibility, Club Llumiq and Social Responsibility Unit of the MARQ Foundation we join in this commemoration with a firm commitment: to make the MARQ an inclusive, accessible space open to all audiences.
From Saturday 29 November and during the days 30 November and 1, 2, 3 and 5 December, MARQ will be filled with activities designed to enjoy, learn and share culture without barriers. Because an inclusive museum is not only accessible, it is a place where everyone feels part of history.
Every 3 December, the world comes together to celebrate the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, a date that reminds us of the importance of promoting the rights, participation and well-being of all people, fostering a fairer and more equal society.
The programme of activities planned at the Museo Arqueológico de la Diputación de Alicante is as follows:
