\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tA multitude of associations, companies and stakeholders have been working for several years to promote inclusion, particularly in the cultural sector. Thanks to their efforts, numerous tools, resources and guides detailing the steps to be taken have been developed and are now available. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

With PRISM, the Networking, Innovation and Support Programme for Creative Professions, our mission is to stimulate, support and strengthen the development of the creative and cultural industries<\/span><\/a> in Valais, in order to multiply their economic impact and success. Rather than producing a new comprehensive guide, our goal is to gather, catalogue and consolidate existing resources, documents and best practices to enrich these valuable initiatives on inclusion and give them additional visibility. <\/p>

After publishing this work (below), we will focus on identifying the interests of cultural venues and stakeholders in moving forward to the next stage. Our objective will be to connect these venues with companies and associations that offer solutions, approaches or resources tailored to their ambitions. Our goal remains to create connections, build networks and develop projects with stakeholders who want to move forward and those who offer solutions… because, of course, technology alone is not enough; people remain at the heart of our approach. <\/p>

The common goal is to ensure that cultural venues can welcome everyone in the best possible conditions. We have chosen to launch the initiative in the performing arts sector, with the valuable collaboration of the Th\u00e9\u00e2tre Les Halles<\/a> in Sierre. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

To make theatres and, by extension, cultural venues such as concert halls, concert venues, conference centres, etc. increasingly inclusive, we believe it is important to start by assessing the services and infrastructure already in place. It is very likely that many small actions and habits are already well established in the theatre. Of course, it is also essential that all members of the team are involved in the process, from administrative staff to management and teams on the ground. <\/p>

The following four elements can serve as a starting point:<\/p>
