WAV-e recently completed an intervention of digitalisation of a small museum in the historical centre of Grosseto. The available equipment now present includes a VR corner, interactive monitors, haptic technology and 3D portable scanner. With the intent of bringing the younger generations close to the cultural heritage and of supporting the familiarisation with the available technologies applied to cultural sites, the events are connected to the wider WAV-e objective of creating a network of pupils and students to develop STEM capacities to contribute to the cultural and social growth of the town. In connection with the WAV-e activities for social inclusion, such as the "social orchestra" for marginalised neighbours and migrants, the events will be promoted in these communities to ensure the inclusive participation of every group. WAV-e is also partner of CSOs engaged in activities in support of people with disabilities, whose presence will be then guaranteed during the events. During the events, the participants will have the opportunity to test the VR visor to navigate the drawing collection of the museum; they will interact with the drawings via the haptic station and, finally, for the youngsters, they will enjoy a session on minecraft on a 100 inch touchscreen display. Together with the Local public library and the Art Museum of the town, the events will be advertised and information on how to register shared via social media and in cooperation with the Department of education of the city council. The event is special because is absolutely new in town, and there is a growing attention on the application of technologies to reduce barriers for PwD in accessing arts and culture. The event is part of the wider strategy of social and technological innovation for an equal growth of the town; due to continuous flow of migration, Grosseto is changing and the needs of social cohesion are constantly increasing.
