Gdynia pays special attention to providing equal opportunities for people with disabilities. Within the frames of its activities in this field, Gdynia organizes a cyclical contest entitled ‘Barrier-Free Gdynia'. Its aim is to distinguish institutions, organizations and individuals whose activities are aimed at overcoming stereotypes concerning the disabled. The Jury rewards the initiatives which contribute to the elimination of architectural, transportation and social barriers complicating everyday life of a disabled person. The 14th edition of the contest has just started, but we already look forward to its final in April. It is worth mentioning here that in December 2012 the European Commission granted Gdynia with a special distinction within the Access City Award. The Award recognizes cities which take exemplary initiatives to improve accessibility in the urban environment Opublikowano: 25.02.2013 00:00 Autor: ZANONIMIZOWANO (anonymized_16@removed.local)
