Researcher Vanessa Gumier from the Translation for Audiovisual Media and Accessibility Group (TRAMA) at the Universitat Jaume I in Castelló has created an audiodescription, in Valencian and Spanish, for the children's Falla of the Cronista Vicent Beguer i Esteve commission in Torrent (Valencia) that will allow visually impaired people to learn about the elements that make up this monument.

Under the slogan ‘Inclusivamente’, the children's falla designed by Grego Acebedo deals, in a humorous way and with a high didactic content, with varied and multiple forms of communication (written, oral, visual, etc.) through the five senses. The audio guide, which can be evaluated through a survey, will be complemented by sounds, textures, aromas and edible 'ninots'.

The accessible falla is part of Vanessa Gumier's doctoral thesis project ‘Fallas para todos: una aproximación a la accesibilidad para personas ciegas de las Fallas de la Comunitat Valenciana' [Fallas for all: an approach to accessibility for blind people at the Fallas festival in the Valencian Community]. This work stems from the need to guarantee equal access to culture for all and studies how the falla monuments could be made accessible to blind people, taking the accessibility of sculptures in museums as a reference.

Using a participatory action research methodology, the thesis integrates discussion groups with blind people, accessibility experts, falla artists and falla managers and has launched, as a kind of preliminary action, a collaboration with the Falla Cronista Vicent Beguer i Esteve in Torrent to contribute to the sensory falla. The aim is to provide audio description for one of the large Fallas monuments for the 2026 festival.

The research for the thesis, funded by the Valencian Regional Government (ACIF/2022/246), is part of the PhD programme in Applied Languages, Literature and Translation at the Universitat Jaume I in Castelló and has a specific [website](http://sites.google.com/uji.es/fallasparatodos/inicio?authuser=0).

In this [Catalogue of Accessible Fallas](http://sites.google.com/uji.es/fallasparatodos/resultados/fallas-accesibles-2025) you can find out which other Fallas monuments in the Valencian Community are accessible to blind and partially sighted people.
