Inclusive reading workshops in MAB hall

On Saturday, Sept. 21, MAB workers await children and their families for an afternoon of inclusive read alouds, discovering new stories, illustrated and made of symbols. The workshop will be held at the Bishop’s Seminary, starting at 4 p.m. and is open to all.
The event is part of the TUTTI AL MAB project, launched already last year by the Diocesan Museum Foundation thanks to the 8xmille grant with the aim of fostering inclusion and participation in the three diocesan institutes, the Museum, the Archives and the Library.

The MAB room

The MAB Room (Museum – Archives – Library) is a space for sharing and meeting, welcoming all children and young people to read new stories made of symbols and drawings, among colorful carpets and pillows. Once again this year, the Books for All shelf has. enriched with the purchase of new books translated into Augmentative Alternative Communication symbols, the aid composed of writing in symbols that Facilitates and offers people with complex communication needs the opportunity to communicate and participate, but it is also a useful tool for foreign people on their first approach to the Italian language, for everyone to compare and understand diversity.
The service is free of charge and is available to families, educators, therapists and teachers in the area for the use, on site or by loan, of books in symbols but also multimodal and multisensory books.
Thus we hope that reading, as a participatory tool, will make ALL children and young people who come to MAB Hall happy.
The activity is also realized thanks to the contribution of the CRT Foundation as part of “Community Activities 2024” – organized by the Regional Council for Ecclesiastical Cultural Heritage in collaboration with the dioceses of Piedmont and Aosta Valley.
