We have received several requests to help make Pécs’ important sites accessible to all. It was a great experience to meet again with people who want to do something, to have useful discussions and to know for sure that we are moving towards a more accessible environment again. Which should not forget that it is GOOD FOR EVERYONE!

On the morning of 6. June 2024, we were met at the Pécs-Pogány Airport by Managing Director Márk Dragovácz, who has already indicated several times that he would like to make the airport even more accessible and inclusive for everyone. You can read the description of the airport in our Barrier-free Pécs Database (click here: https://peoplefirst.hu/en/directory/barrier-free-pecs/pecs-pogany-airport/)
This time, Ildikó Kakusziné Tamasy, a member of our association, a rehabilitation engineer, came from Szeged city to help us. We were delighted to be joined by Anna Mária Ballai, President of the Blind and Visually Impaired Association of Csongrád-Csanád County.
You can follow the accessibility changes in the Database!

The airport exploration, expected to be fruitful for both sides, was followed by an equally exciting meeting. Many people know that the Apollo Cinema in Pécs is not only a cinema, but also hosts very interesting community events in a nice and pleasant space. However, the art cinema, located on the first floor of a historical building, is not barrier-free. Gabi Varga, the manager of the cinema, wants to change that and make this great place accessible to all. We have worked hard on it, but here Ildiko has a difficult task.

Late in the afternoon we held the kick-off meeting of our Pécs City Civil Framework 2024 project. As a result of this project you will find 5 more accessible sites in our Barrier-free Pécs Database by the end of the year, thanks to the exploratory team: Evelin, Hilda, Krisztina, Gergő, Robi, Zoli responsible for the maintenance of the database, and the applicant/coordinator/data uploader Veronika.
