In 2023, the BoCCF, a small to medium-sized cultural institution in Nicosia, Cyprus, underwent significant transformations to enhance accessibility. Their “Aisthiseis” program integrates permanent adaptations like sign language tours, audio guides, tactile stations, and Braille guides. These changes engage vulnerable groups and extend multisensory experiences to events. The program reflects the BOCCF’s commitment to inclusivity and cultural enrichment.
