Hidden city special! Is the Christmas market in Pécs accessible??

Come with us for the Hidden City Tor-Tour on 3. December from 14.00! We will meet at the mock-up on Széchenyi Square in Pécs, and now we will not go far. We tell you a little bit about the buildings standing in the square, and of course about their accessibility, we walk a circle, and then we look around the hilarious Christmas market in the square and see what can be achieved, eat, drink with a wheelchair, or as a blind person. You can try all this yourself, because we will bring you a wheelchair, a white stick, "visually impairing" blurred glasses. You haven't done anything like that before! COME!

Let’s double up! We have launched a campaign, we are counting on you

We know Christmas is coming, there is a rise in household expenses, yet we try to rely on your good heart, as the purpose of our online campaign is fundraising. Our association has been operating a city barrier-free database uniquely in the country since 2018, continuously developing it. Although the database is available to you for free, exploring new locations and constantly updating existing ones costs us, of course. With the current campaign, our goal is to collect HUF 250,000 to finance this, which the Foundation with the Power of Humanity will double if we reach the amount! We're really excited to see if we're going to make it?

Partner cooperation for the accessibility of Pécs

We held an employee sensitization on September 22. for the market inspectors and security service of the recently opened Pécs Market Hall. The purpose of the informative discussion, initiated by the People First Association and held together with several of our partners, was to give employees an insight into how to help and how not to help customers with disabilities, what accessibility means and who cares about accessibility. As the next step, the People First Association invited its partners to review each location according to their own criteria in our Accessible Pécs database, using the "Write reviews" rubric. Review is open to everyone, we are happy to receive as many comments as possible about the sites in the database!
