Examples of Social Inclusion in Culture Institutions in Liechtenstein

The LandesMuseum used to offer the so-called "Aperitif informative" (Wednesday evening tours every first Wednesday of the month) years ago. On these tours, well-known personalities in Liechtenstein dealt with a special object or topic, usually in connection with Liechtenstein’s cultural heritage. An expert carpenter reported on traditional woodworking, a historian spoke about girls' education and developments in the field of education and training, and a tailor demonstrated traditional techniques in the making of traditional costumes.

In the present there are regularly special guided tours for seniors with coffee and cake, guided tours for the blind and guided tours and special programs for families.

Inclusion: For education & outreach in the framework of the LandesMuseum, the topic of inclusion is important. There are special mediation formats for different target groups such as blind and visually impaired, deaf, refugees, and people with low German language skills.

Apart from other museums in the country, the LandesMuseum cooperates, for example, with the Therapeutic Education Center to produce goods for the museum store (textiles, alpine departure hearts, food) or with the Traditional Costume Association.

The leisure centre (Freizeitzentrum) in Schaan also offers excellent framework conditions for the inclusion and integration of diverse groups of the society in the context of craft activities in their leisure time.
