The collaborative project "I Belong" of Me Alla Matia NPO and ProvaT.O. NPO returns with a new mini-documentary on the inclusion of disabled people in artistic events, under the auspices of the Ministry of Culture.

In the video, we highlight the good practices of inclusion implemented by ATLAS E.P., the first company to provide universal access services at events for people with disability. Highlighted, among other things, is also ATLAS E.P.’s pioneering collaboration with the Greek National Opera (GNO), aiming to present opera, musical theatre, and dance performances in a universally accessible manner. This outlines a shining example among cultural institutions, where accessibility and inclusion opportunities are a permanent design.
