Description of actions

We aim to combat discrimination for people with physical (mobility) disabilities. We aim mostly to public sensitization and co-operation with local authorities, citizens and occasionaly children. One of our main targets is accessibility in the city, we work with the local media to achieve this, last year we've started a campaign for promoting accessibility in shops by giving them a special sticker, to welcome disabled clients. We try to make ourselves a good example for other disabled people and ensure a respectable way of life for all disabled people.
