Description
This project will be supporting a better quality of life for people with disabilities, improving their skills and strengthening their integration. We develop touring centers and their methodologies at lake Balaton, where we will work together with disabled people. Our target group is people with disabilities and their organizations. We develop the methodology which is the relevant properties of routes for disabled people, the categories of routes, how to signpost them, and so on. We go along the touristic routes of Balaton Uplands, with school children, with local civil organizations - and mainly with disabled people. The Balaton Uplands National Park will give us methodological support. Moreover, we will create an experience-stone-garden in Balatonszabadi, mainly for blind people. Also, experience and therapeutic tours will be organized. We will publish the methodology and results via internet and other publications. The project will create a colorful system of cooperation and a good model, so it is easy to reproduce methodology and solutions elsewhere in Hungary too.
