The scientific divulgation work is increasingly like a facilitator task. In fact, in this work it is primary to transform the results and the notions of scientific research so that they became accessible to the public, understood as the largest possible number of people. However, this information flow turns out to be purely verbal, moreover with a language rich of visual references, that are inaccessible and incomprehensible for the user with sensory disabilities. Wehavethusestablished a convention between the “Istituto dei Ciechi Opere riunite I. Florio – F. ed A. Salamone” of Palermo and the “Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche - Istituto per lo studio degli impatti Antropici e Sostenibilità in ambiente marino” of Capo Granitola (TP). Wedeveloped a formative proposal that links the science world with sensory disabilities, proposing Birds as principal argument and the whole world connected to it. The birds appear as the key to connect to different scientific issues (pollution, environmental changes, exploitation of resources) to create new knowledge in the public, through the suggestions that the workshop lessons can give people, both disabled or not. All this in order to bring them closer to these subjects and make the contents of our laboratories as inclusive as possible.
The project "The world of birds", developed from January to April 2019 is divided into three main themes, the first of which is the focus of this report: The bird plumage
