Accessibilità, partecipazione e inclusione per la trasmissione dei valori del Patrimonio Mondiale

The cultural pluralism that the UNESCO World Heritage List aims to represent requires a constant adaptation of approaches and methods of implementation in relation to global strategies and contemporary challenges. The broadening of the 'cultural significance' of heritage and the relationship between it and the variety of people who relate and identify with it make it crucial to implement participatory processes aimed at accessibility and inclusion. In particular, it is necessary to strengthen the capacity for interpretation, presentation and communication for society's knowledge of the values of heritage. Including some relevant case studies referring to museums and the archaeological heritage, the contribution aims to illustrate the processes of interpretation, presentation and communication of values and meanings that, according to the 1972 Convention, represent a means to "improve public appreciation and understanding of cultural heritage sites".
