A meeting for the Misz-Masz foundation

On September 18, 2022, a meeting was held as part of the project "Digital Sharing of Resources of Muzeum Sztuki in Łódź" to which we invited people from the Misz-Masz foundation.

The educational area of ​​the project "Digital Sharing of Resources of Muzeum Sztuki in Łódź" includes dissemination and accessibility activities. In the design process, digitized works of art gain descriptions dedicated to recipients with varying degrees of ability and communication. The meeting summarizing another year of work was an excellent opportunity to share the effects of our work with our guests. Descriptions of digitized works make our website zasoby.msl.org.pl and everyday workshop work legible. During the meeting, we shared our competences, knowledge and skills with guests from Kalisz - wards, carers and supporters of the Misz-Masz Foundation from Kalisz.
