1. Bringing the foreign user closer to museum activities through language training courses
The Tessuto Museum, in collaboration with the University of Siena, has created a digital training course in Italian aimed at foreign adult users: "Italian at the Museum" (see "Useful Links"). The path, which is freely accessible and usable in total self-study from computer and mobile phone, allows for the improvement of linguistic competence through the museum's terminology and the promotion of its history, activities, and collections.
2. Making content usable to foreign communities by actively including them in this process
QR Code technology was used to create a digital pathway, which allows visitors to independently visit the museum with the possibility of listening to audio guides in simplified Italian, Albanian, Arabic, Chinese and Urdu. The voices in the Museum's audio guides are the young people from the different communities who were included in the voice-over activities.
