The People First Association Pécs made a contract with the Leőwey Klára Highschool of Pécs, so from the 9/b English class some kind and enthusiastic students work with us on their compulsory community service. As we see, the handiest and the best students applied as a volunteer to us, so we can give them some variegate jobs: they participate in a boccia team’s trainings and competitions, they are animator at the Speckó special sensitizing escape-game-room, translate in English, help and escort some disabled people, participate at some sensitizing trainings, gathering… and everything else 🙂 Thank you Alex, Barni, Barnabás, GG and Panna!

Our association has been invited to elaborate the 2018-2023 tract of the Pécs’s Equal Opportunities Program. We can feel the opportunity’s weight, because with our member’s personal experiences, ideas, observations we can participate in making Pécs barrier-free. We’ve got enough ideas, we hope to be included in the city’s next five-year plan and we can implement them. Thank you for the opportunity!
Members of our association took a serious role in organization of II. Barrier-free Tourism Day 2018: we were present by the organisation, marketing, collecting and sensitization volunteers, transport of handicapped participants and we provided programs too. Of course we participated in a large number in the event!
This event had been organised for the first time last year and it was very successful this year too. Hundreds of participants came, even from the furthest places from the country, to attend at this very special event. The purpose of this program is to draw people’s attention to disappear the gap between disabled people and healthy people and encourage them the mutual acceptance. The Barrier-Free Tourism Day is offering a lot of touristic and sport possibilities to people who never had the chance to try these before. Disabled people could experience barrier-free cycling, riding on motorbikes and motorboats, driving a car for visually impaired, canoeing, riding on a horse and even fishing. Also participants could enjoy music and other performances as well as gastronomic specialties. Several events have been implemented from free offering and almost 30 volunteers helped the attendants during the event.
