Sense BSR

A visit to a museum, a sports class or a day out should be something everyone can enjoy. But for neurodivergent people, busy spaces, overwhelming sounds, unclear information or inflexible activities can make taking part difficult.

In Sense BSR, we believe that public recreational services have to be accessible to everyone. Together with local public authorities and service providers, such as museums, cultural, sports and tourism centres, we work to help them adapt their services to neurodiverse people’s sensory, communication and participation needs. Many want to make their services more inclusive but lack the knowledge, resources, training or practical guidance to get started.

The team behind Sense BSR is developing a Toolkit for inclusive design and provision of public recreational services for neurodiverse people. It will offer practical knowledge, tools and frameworks to help service providers (re)design their services, involve service users in the process and make their activities more accessible and welcoming.

By sharing the toolkit across the Baltic Sea Region, we also aim to encourage wider public institutions and community stakeholders to act. We want to help more organisations respond to neurodiverse people’s needs and make inclusion part of how public recreational services are designed and provided every day.
