ExclusiveA tale of five rooms

On 14 October 2024, the National Council held a consultation on mobility and web accessibility for people with disabilities and the elderly, where a plan for a single national platform "The Story of Five Spaces" was presented. The platform, funded by the Ministry of Environment, Climate and Energy, will bring together data on accessibility of indoor spaces, the outdoor built environment, online content, on-call transport and home exercise technologies. The aim is to improve quality of life by providing better access to services and information. The event highlighted the importance of including people with disabilities and older people in society and the need for accessible infrastructure for all.
