Proposta de um evento de lazer inclusivo para crianças cegas e com baixa visão no Parque da Jaqueira na cidade do Recife.

Abstract

This work proposes the development of a pilot project for an inclusive event aimed at blind and low-vision children at Parque da Jaqueira, located in the city of Recife. The objective is to plan a playful initiative that promotes inclusive tourism and social integration among blind, low-vision and non-disabled children through recreational and cultural activities based on multisensory stimuli. Supported by professionals specialized in leisure and inclusion, the project aims to ensure the fulfillment of children’s rights. The research is justified by the scarcity of leisure initiatives directed at children with visual impairments in the capital of Pernambuco, especially in public social spaces. In this sense it highlights the importance of expanding inclusion practices beyond the school environment to include urban spaces such as parks and recreation areas. The methodology consists of qualitative research, of an exploratory and descriptive nature, grounded in a literature review on accessible tourism and social inclusion, in addition to the development of an operational plan for the event. As a result, it is expected to contribute to the strengthening of inclusive tourism practices and the promotion of access for visually impaired children to leisure activities in the city’s public spaces.
