Why we created the InCASA?
The Camino de Santiago is a network of pilgrimage routes in northern Spain leading to the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela.
Despite the Camino's appeal, many people with disabilities face significant challenges in undertaking the pilgrimage.
Physical barriers can include uneven terrain, narrow paths, lack of accessible transportation, and inadequate restroom facilities.
Communication barriers may arise due to a lack of signage in Braille or tactile maps, or limited availability of information in accessible formats.
DocumentaryThe Inclusive Path: A New Camino de Santiago Story
Join a group of young people from across Europe (Spain, Romania, Portugal, Slovenia, and Poland) as they walk the legendary Camino de Santiago. This is not just a travel film, but a powerful documentary that brings together accessibility, inclusion, and real-life experience.
This journey is the culmination of the InCASA project, a European initiative created to prove that adventure, culture, and outdoor experiences should never be off-limits, regardless of physical or mental abilities.
We aim to enhance accessibility and participation in the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage for youngsters with disabilities. By developing an accessible web app and a training platform for caregivers and youth workers, we seek to empower these individuals with the necessary resources and support for a meaningful pilgrimage experience. Our project also aspires to inspire similar initiatives across Europe, promoting inclusivity in outdoor and cultural activities
