The National Museum of Contemporary Art Αthens (EMST) participates in the World Autism Awareness Day (April 2) with activities aimed at including visitors with autism spectrum disorders. In collaboration with TheHappyAct Organization, we invite children on the spectrum, and a person accompanying them, to participate in the specially designed art workshops titled “I express myself with art.”
Since 2021, EMST has been an inclusive space for visitors who are on the autism spectrum. As part of the workshops, participants will explore works from the Museum’s collection and create their own.
Coordinators:
Elisabeth Ioannides, EMST Education curator – Art Psychotherapist
Maria Karakasidou, Special Educator TheHappyAct
Irini Rapti, Museum Educator – Special Educator TheHappyAct
