Aspire was
excited to learn about a new crowd sourced project called My Accessible EU. We
met Barbara Brayshay who has written the blogpost below to explain what the
project is all about and how you can get involved.
At some time in their lives most people will
experience limitations to their mobility, either temporarily or permanently as
a result of long term or temporary impairment.
Parents with children in pushchairs, older people and wheelchair users
are all vulnerable to the negative effects of poor accessibility as they go
about their daily lives.
My Accessible EU is a
new EU funded project that aims to help make Europe more accessible for everyone.
We want to hear about your experiences
with accessibility in your daily life, be they good or bad. Tell us about your
most positive and or your most negative experience and let us know how these
experiences affected you. We would love to hear your recommendations on how to
improve accessibility and your ideas for best case scenarios. Based on your input we will make
recommendations for solutions for eliminating existing barriers. The
MyAccessible.EU project gives us the opportunity to make our voices heard, to
address the right people and make those people aware of the need for
accessibility.
Please share
your thoughts and any ideas for solutions on the My Accessible EU blog or email info@mappingforchange.org.uk
