Empathy Retreat
During 25-29th of August 2022, we organised the Empathy Retreat in Sibiu, an intersectional project that brought together 32 people from different social and professional categories: architects, urban planners, landscape architects, expert citizens, local councillors from city halls, activists, all of them from the LGBTQIA+ spectrum, or with visual, locomotor or hearing disabilities, neurodivergent and (temporarily) able-bodied people.
Inclusive dialogue is the first step towards making accessibility a priority in the development and design of public and private spaces. The retreat is intended to stimulate introspection among participants through the individual perception of human diversity in general, but also though the impact the environment has on them by identifying common situations of exclusion.
