Nati con la Cultura

What are the conditions and characteristics for a museum suitable for families with children aged 0-6 years? How to broaden the participation base of a wider public in museum life? How to further enhance cultural welfare policies through museum visits?

To answer these questions, starting from the assumption that theart can become a powerful resource for well-being from the earliest years of lifedetermining factors in the child's development, the Nati con la Cultura proposes a path of active cultural citizenship, from birth and in educational alliance with families.

The aim of the project is to develop museum policies aimed at the inclusive reception in museums of families with children, including through the creation of permanent services for the youngest children to facilitate their access and stay in the museum. In Piedmont, thanks to the Cultural Passport, the child in its first year of life can have free access together with both parents (or any other accompanying person) in over 40 museums hitherto accredited Born with Culture.

The Cultural Passport is currently delivered at birth in all hospitals in the City of Turin (AOU Città della Salute e della Scienza with the Sant'Anna Hospital, AO Mauriziano, ASL Città di Torino with the Martini and Maria Vittoria Hospitals, ASL TO3 with the Rivoli and Pinerolo Hospitals, ASL TO4 with the Ciriè and Ivrea Hospitals, ASL TO5 with the Moncalieri and Chieri Hospitals) with the Baby Health kit, at the registration at the birth office of the central registry office in Turin, at the hospital in Cuneo and downloadable from the website www.naticonlacultura.it
