Empower Parents is an educational community formed by families with children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and professionals around the ICO Museum that, driven by hablarenarte, aims to transform museum and cultural institutions into more humanized and accessible spaces. The organization, in this case a museum linked to an official credit institution, thus opens its doors to children with a wider variety of abilities and their carers. In 2020, the team of families takes the reins and creates the Empower Parents Association, with the aim of continuing with the lines of work already initiated and incorporating new cultural and museum institutions into the project.

about CCSC
This workshop takes place within the framework of the European Cultural Creative Spaces and Cities project. CCSC is a research and co-design project that involves seven European cities and some thirty cultural, artistic and academic organizations in the international arena. For two and a half years, the project connects citizen initiatives and cultural spaces with local political leaders through various participatory processes. The objective is to highlight those basic artistic and cultural initiatives that actively transform public spaces and cities, and from this practice propose a compendium of recommendations and proposals to be implemented in the EU.
