PDF Print

Intro, a non-profit organization, makes festivals, shows, indoor events, sports events and other events such as fairs, training and conferences accessible to individuals with a visual, auditory, physical or mental limitation and autistic persons. Furthermore, Intro develops inclusive projects to improve the accessibility of the events and leisure sector for disabled persons.

Disabled persons want to participate in the growing number of events, but they are often confronted with practical discomforts. Intro wants to tackle these discomforts by focusing on the accessibility of the information and the environment.

Intro advocates equal opportunities for disabled persons. It wants to make society and its’ policy makers aware of the importance of accessible events and of an inclusive society in which people with and without a disability can meet.

Intro does not advocate a privileged status, but wants solutions to practical problems. This way, disabled persons have a choice to participate in an event without being influenced by the inaccessibility of the environment.

 
Intro zorgt ervoor dat mensen met en zonder handicap dezelfde keuzes kunnen maken. Daarom is Intro een belangrijke partner van het Vlaamse Gelijke Kansenbeleid
