What is accessibility and why do we need accessible schools? Can a Polish school be accessible? A place where every child can develop their potential, regardless of limitations resulting from disabilities or special needs?
On October 1st, after several months of work, we can officially invite you to the Accessible School project, which aims to eliminate barriers to accessibility in primary schools. PLN 40 million has been allocated for this purpose, which will be distributed in the form of grants to school governing bodies.
We invite you to an online conference during which Ms. Małgorzata Jarosińska-Jedynak, Minister of Funds and Regional Policy, will officially launch the project, and representatives of the operators – the Cooperation Fund Foundation and the Institute for Regional Development Foundation – will present detailed project assumptions.
The conference, under the patronage of the Ministry of Funds and Regional Policy, will take place on October 1st, 2020, at 1:00 PM and will be broadcast live on www.dostepnaszkola.info.
