Inclusive Paleontology

Access to scientific knowledge is a universal and fundamental right. Scientific progress and its interaction with society cannot be considered complete if it does not reach every social group, especially those of people with special educational needs or with different types of functional diversity, such as intellectual, blindness, deaf-blindness. These “barriers” must be broken down to guarantee scientific knowledge transmission and learning, as well as an equal enjoyment of science. Currently, there are many institutions that carry out inclusive activities and experiences with paleontological content adapted to people with functional diversity and/or that consider a universal design in their proposals. The main objective of this “INCLUSIVE PALEONTOLOGY” session is to share experiences adapted to people with functional diversity and carried out by academic institutions, museums, research centres or different associations.
