This program was developed in collaboration with Coopculture and is designed to promote understanding of the historical and cultural features of Herculaneum, a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1997.
### Educational Programs and Inclusive Services
Educational programs introduce a variety of activities, including soft skills courses and a video game called "Lost in Herculaneum." There are new apps for children and community workshops in collaboration with the Variabile K association. The initiative takes special needs visitors into consideration, offering access to children with autism, visually impaired visitors, blind visitors, and those with motor disabilities.
