The Fundació Catalunya La Pedrera aims to guarantee access to cultural content under equal conditions. For this reason, La Pedrera also offers a series of sensory resources whose objective is to facilitate the understanding of the exhibition contents and integrate audiences.

Through the program La Pedrera Accesible, sensory resources have been introduced in the field of the museum space and in the contents of the programming of cultural activities. Such as interpretation in Catalan Sign Language (LSC) and live subtitling (SPS) in different acts, or audio descriptions of shows for the blind or visually impaired audience.

Cognitive accessibility

The Foundation has taken another step to also serve groups of people with cognitive disabilities and who have support needs for understanding.

A large part of the Foundation's resources and services are used to improve the quality of life of people with Alzheimer 's disease.

In the temporary exhibitions at La Pedrera we offer a proposal for visits and cognitive stimulation activities that promote socialization and memory stimulation before, during and after the visit. With the collaboration of neuropsychologists, who are familiar with the groups and their needs, pieces or topics that are likely to be more attractive to work on language, orientation and reminiscence, among others, are selected.

These resources, created for the participants of the Fundació's REMS program, are also made available to associations and caregivers or family members of people with Alzheimer's, foundations specializing in cognitive impairment that run day centers and residences that have socialization programs to facilitate inclusion and creative use of leisure.
