Mitsubishi Electric supports the first re-print of the high accessibility book project “the treasure of the enchanted maze”
The volume, produced by the Robert Hollman Foundation, is unique in its kind due to the multiple codes with which it’s written. Revenues from sales will contribute to building a new inclusive sensory park in Padua, open to all, people with different types and levels of disability.
Project: Hollman Foundation
“The Treasure of the Enchanted Maze” tells a story that highlights the peculiarities of each individual as a means of enrichment, improvement and growth. This initiative is part of a wider project of Fondazione Robert Hollman under the title “Think, Build, Play… Together. Everyone’s Park”, to create the “Treasure Tree” inclusive and sensory park in Padua.
The attention towards Diversity and Inclusion has inspired Mitsubishi Electric to contribute to the initiative supporting the first re-print of the book. “The Treasure of the Enchanted Maze” is a unique communication tool in its kind because of the many codes in which it is written, which in turn make it highly legible.
It will be printed in black, in Braille, with the Easy Reading® font, with Augmentative and Alternative Communication symbols, and supplemented by an audio-book and illustrations, in addition to using a printing technique which combines printing and Braille impression.
The project also calls for an exhibition open until 7 June 2019 in Padua with the Children’s work, who, inspired by the book, tell how they’d like the inclusive park to be built.
