We could reach that with all project elements.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><b>Barrier-free Tourism Day<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is increasingly well-known at national level and since 2019 in an international level too. New elements have been added, e.g. presentation of disability sports, involving a new location (sports camp), which have all made significant progress. In the organizing team disabled people are more and more active. The number of volunteers is constantly growing and expanded with new arrivals like students and high school students who are particularly keen to volunteer with us. Volunteers are important element of social sensitizing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Exploring barrier-free hiking\u00a0 trails <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">project element proved to be an excellent community-building activity within the association and the involvement of the local population was also successful in this project element. An unexpected effect was the strong media interest.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We developed a methodology to the<\/span><b> Hidden city barrier-free guidance <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">project element, and tried it on 6th of September with serious interest. It was also a great opportunity to build contacts with local populations and actors in tourism. The future continuation of the project element, the inclusion in the permanent tourist offers in P\u00e9cs proved to be a greater task than we thought, but the opportunity has arrived at the end of the project. We have also prepared to continue it in our international Peer-AcT Erasmus+ project.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A methodology has been developed also in <\/span><b>Barrier-free advice<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> project element. Here we are looking for additional partners, mainly lodgings in P\u00e9cs and the area around P\u00e9cs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It was an important goal and impact in the whole project to make P\u00e9cs better and more livable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ECK was the most complex project so far, which required a lot of work but thus brought satisfaction, recognition, external and internal success and brought new tasks. The greatest achievement is the increase in the activity and responsibility of the members.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is difficult to highlight one as the best moment of the project, but since the best way to achieve the accessibility in our minds\u00a0 with enjoyable, cheerfully performed sensitisation, the Hidden city barrier-free guidance can be highlighted. We really enjoyed it, and the participants too. It&#8217;s a pleasure to show our city, it&#8217;s a pleasure to work with good partners. This is part of accessible tourism, which will be of great emphasis in the life of our organization in the future. We have already had serious results, we can boast of many best practices in Hungary and abroad. This is the project element that demonstrated the best the internal professionalism, which <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">draws attention to<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> the fact that people with disabilities are equally people. In this case, they are equally qualified in terms of diploma, language skills, creativity, innovativeness and even humor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thank you ECK!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ECK was the most complex project so far, which required a lot of work but thus brought satisfaction, recognition, external and internal success and brought new tasks.
