ITP Newsletter 2025, Issue 12 – Call for Submissions!
Accessibility and inclusion
Deadline: 31 January 2025
Call for submissions
We are pleased to announce the call for submissions for our next ITP Newsletter! The ITP Newsletter 2025 will be our 12th issue. Our theme for 2025 will be Accessibility and inclusion, as chosen by this issue’s guest editor, Yanoa Pomalima Carrasco (Peru, ITP Fellow 2022, Senior Fellow 2024).
We are asking all fellows to help us create our newsletter for 2025 – to share news, views and stories from across our global network.
Cultural institutions are welcoming environments where communities feel represented, listened to, and valued. Museums and galleries are exploring new ways to implement programmes, activities and guidelines to promote social justice, address exclusion and develop accessibility resources.
Many institutions are co-creating exhibitions to raise awareness about social-driven issues, including new voices in their narrative-building process, removing architectural barriers, creating tactile resources, designing audio descriptions, and experimenting with new technologies to enrich the visiting experience based on their visitor’s needs.
In three sections – Accessibility and inclusion; Your collection in focus and Global perspectives – we´d like to hear from any of our fellows about their past experiences and/or current projects in their institutions or sectors of professional research fields. How are our institutions committed to diversity, inclusion and accessibility? How are we integrating accessibility and inclusion into our daily professional practices to benefit visitors and the staff? What is your organisation doing anything differently to address this need and bring about change? Who do you collaborate with to achieve that goal?
The newsletter will also include our usual sections which will enable fellows to share news their institutions and collections more generally:
Did you know that? Where you can tell readers something they may not already know about the cultural sector in your country.
Spotlight on….an opportunity to share an in-depth view of one of the museums/galleries/institutions in our ITP global network.
Bulletin Board where you can share with us what is happening in your institution, i.e., new galleries, exhibitions, community work, special events.
And Global Network News for short descriptions updating us on your personal and professional news.
Send us your piece for the ITP 2025 newsletter to share it among our ITP network, we would like to hear from you.
We will be looking forward to receiving your submissions so please send us a contribution – remember, it is ‘your’ newsletter!
