Sensing Otherwise: Art, Disability, and New Immersive Narratives

Status: OngoingOctober 2026–September 2028

Sensing Otherwise is an Erasmus+ cooperation partnership in adult education. Over two years, it will co-design accessible immersive exhibitions in Palermo, Athens and Zwolle with adults with disabilities. Crow Group is a co-beneficiary and the lead partner for the technological outputs (VR, AR and digital platform).

About the project

Sensing Otherwise looks again at 30 European artworks, from the 15th to the 20th century, through the social model of disability.

Together with adults with disabilities, the partners will co-design immersive and accessible ways to experience these works. The results will be shown in three 30-day immersive exhibitions in Palermo, Athens and Zwolle.

The project plans to involve 100 adult educators, 100 adults with disabilities (40 of them refugees) and 50 cultural operators in training and validation in the three countries. The three exhibitions aim to reach more than 4,000 visitors.

This summary is based on Sensing Otherwise on the coordinator's website (IDRISI, in Italian).

Crow Group's role

Our role is lead partner for the technological outputs (VR, AR and digital platform). We take part as a co-beneficiary; IDRISI Cultura e Sviluppo ETS coordinates the project.

How we organise this kind of work in a consortium is explained in EU project management: how we work on digital results. For the tools and standards we bring to VR, AR and platform builds, see our technology-partner work.

The project is part of our work in adult education and skills development. If your consortium needs a partner in a similar role, see how to partner with us.

Planned results

The consortium plans these technological outputs:

  • two VR experiences;
  • two AR apps;
  • one digital platform.

We will add dates once the project's work plan is final. Educational materials will be released under an open licence.
