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!

Great interest in the collaboration of art and disability

We held an intensive and active workshop on a niche topic on September 2. in Orfű at the Natúra Pension and Apartment House. We talked about the collaboration of ARTISTS AND PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES with participants from both sides. Very good ideas, many new and expectedly fruitful acquaintances were born in Orfű on this day. To be continued!

The relationship between art and disability

We are waiting for everyone for a special workshop on 2. September in Orfű! We have been organizing related programs around the Barrier-free Tourism Day for years, this year we invite you here. In a wonderful setting, we have a niche conversation about the RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ART AND DISABILITY.

The program poster for the VI. Barrier-free Tourism Day has been completed. Everyone is welcome on 3. September from 10.00 to 16.00 for a special, inclusive festival, where people with disabilities and able bodied, old and young, so everyone can have fun together. Meanwhile, we offer experiences for people with disabilities that they can't try anyway.

VI. Barrier-free Tourism Day

We can hardly believe it, but surely, for the sixth year in a row, the Barrier-Free Tourism Day will be held on Saturday, 3. September 2022 in the beautiful paradise near Pécs: Orfű. The annual event is organized by the People First Association with its co-partners - the Municipality of Orfű, the Gyeregyalog.hu Association, and Medvehagyma Ház. Its main goal is to achieve social inclusion by having fun together at a special festival for the able bodies and disabled people.

For everyone!

“Every new good solution raises new problems”. A summary of 2021

We evolve, we grow bigger, we work more and with more people – meanwhile we inevitably change. Change always brings good, but sometimes it’s hard, sometimes it’s sweet, sometimes it hurts, sometimes it’s a thrill of joy. We felt sort of this way with 2021, the biggest result of which was that we finally respired from Covid. In the great respiration, we had to notice that this never-before-seen situation had left its mark around us and within us. Let’s see what exactly happened to us in 2021:

ARTcoWORKers training in Macedonia

The international meeting of our ARTcoWORKers project was a special event this time, as we worked together with the future trainers on the forming training curriculum. We arrived in Skopje from four countries - Germany, North-Macedonia, Hungary and the Netherlands - to take over all 7 modules of the curriculum and get acquainted with the technique of shadow theatre. In the meantime we have gained an insight into a Balkan world that we have never seen before.

Working lunch with the Dutch Ambassador

Dutch Ambassador Désirée Bonis not only wants to get to know Budapest, but also to get a glimpse into the social life of all major Hungarian cities. During her visit to Pécs she talked with NGOs during a great atmosphere working lunch, to which the People First Association was also invited. It was a great experience!

The Peer-AcT project completed …..to those who think so, because we will continue!

We consider the Peer-AcT project to be a very important milestone in the life of the People First Association. We have learned and recognized the importance and potential of accessible tourism. This is one of the fundamental topics that we can relate to with all our activities so far and in the future. Read our report on what this project was about. And we'll continue it if you want!
