We invite you to a three-day, free training on the accessibility of tourist offers for people with disabilities, which will take place from June 19, 2023 to June 21, 2023 at the Lower Silesian Film Center in Wrocław, at ul. Marszałka Józefa Piłsudskiego 64a.
Accessible tourism is not just about infrastructure, but above all, the availability of services. People with various disabilities are increasingly choosing mountain tourism as a form of leisure activity. Participants will gain knowledge on how to design tourism offerings and services for people with visual, hearing, mobility, and intellectual disabilities, as well as caregivers with children, obese individuals, people of short stature, and people with sensory and motor impairments. The training will be led by trainers from the Imago Foundation, the Katarynka Foundation, and the Ładne Historie Foundation, including individuals with disabilities. The training is primarily practical, but is also supplemented with essential legal aspects.
