Inclusive project of the National Gallery: A creative way to accept people with autism
Every year in April, the National Gallery of RSM joins the celebration of the month dedicated to raising awareness about the presence and acceptance of people with autism.
- This year, in cooperation with the High School "Algorithm", we are organizing an inclusive project for computer graphics on the topic "Virtual I". Through computer graphics, children from this vulnerable category will be able to present and express themselves in a creative way through digital technology. Students from Algorithm High School will take part, as well as other schools that have inclusive educational programs and institutions that support vulnerable categories. Given that technology is rapidly evolving and becoming an indispensable part of our lives, this project aims to show that the computer does not differentiate between users and offers unlimited possibilities for expression. We encourage as many children with autism to get involved and take part in the project - emphasize the National Gallery.
The completed drawings are sent to the e-mail address [email protected] entitled "Virtual I", no later than April 20 this year. The final result of this digital project will be displayed through an exhibition of the works received at the National Gallery.
