MUSE has always been a point of reference and source of inspiration for our work too. In these ten years of activity in Kid Pass we have tried to ensure that the most innovative and accessible cultural proposals for families with children, such as those of MUSE, do not remain isolated cases. – explains Marianna Vianello, CEO of Kid Pass – We launched the challenge of creating a network of museums, active in child-friendly initiatives from north to south and we took care of it, year after year, promoting and encouraging the planning of the structures on the one hand and involving the family public on the other.
The result is a positive contamination of successful experiences. We are very happy and proud to receive recognition from a prestigious partner committed to promoting culture from early childhood, in line with our institutional objectives, even more underlined by being the Child-Friendly Museum of Unicef girls and adolescents and holders of the Family brand in Trentino. – underlines Alberta Giovannini, deputy director of the Human Resources Organization and Various Management Services Office of the MUSE of Trento – Kid Pass combines the choice of innovative communication channels with consolidated dissemination methods, sought after by families who are attentive and sensitive to quality experiences. The choice to launch marathons of thematic events that
they manage to create a network of involvement of small and large cultural realities throughout Italy.
Like MUSE, Kid Pass focuses on accessibility and inclusion. These are the reasons why as MUSE we collaborate profitably and try to contribute to the partnership with contents of scientific and educational relevance which are both entertaining and which can be pleasantly remembered by the public. On this particular occasion the choice made was to place them alongside our consolidated Play MUSE format, because gaming is one of the forms of
learning and experience that we favor.
