Accessible Montréal

Montréal accessible vous donne l’occasion d’explorer avec vos élèves les questions du handicap, de l’inclusion et de l’accessibilité. Est-ce que vos élèves connaissent les limitations fonctionnelles? Est-ce que ça les touche de près? Peut-être plus qu’on le pense quand on sait qu’environ 15 % de la population québécoise a au moins une incapacité. L’activité Montréal accessible incite les jeunes à analyser leur environnement. La ville est-elle adaptée aux personnes ayant une limitation fonctionnelle? Quels aménagements permettraient de faire de Montréal une ville accessible et inclusive?

Accessible Montréal takes place at the MEM in three stages:

1. A discussion with students to define functional limitations. Students may discover that disability issues affect them more than they think.
2. Experiments involving the kinds of obstacles faced by people with functional limitations. How can you find content if you are vision impaired? Or understand a video if you are hearing impaired? In groups of two, students consider the impacts of certain functional limitations and try to find information in the exhibition through the prism of these limitations.
3. An investigation of the MEM’s public spaces with accessibility in mind. What has the MEM done to facilitate access to its spaces, contents, and services? How can they be made even more accessible?

Objective

• Understand the reality of citizens with functional limitations.
• Identify issues related to universal accessibility and inclusion.
