Goal of the event:
The event was held to raise the awareness of Erasmus students and local students about the accessibility or accessibility of the Faculty of Social Sciences and Communication.
(I hope it would be enough)
Short description of the event:
The volunteers made a brainstorming to know where to carry out the activity, choosing the Faculty of CC Social and Communication, and the activities that could be carried out in Gymkhana and those that were chosen were the following:
- With a wheelchair, which one of the volunteers had at home, access the faculty to check the amount of architectural barriers that could exist. Once inside the faculty, test if the person could order a coffee in the cafeteria and the bar would be at an accessible height, or go through the library to verify, also, that the accessibility was correct.
- With the antifaces acquired for the Blind Dinner, take the person out of the faculty and have him accede to it with the help of a volunteer and that arrives until the third floor, either with the aid of the elevator or by the stairs. Also with the antifaces, take a short walk (always with the help of a volunteer) on the university campus to verify that it is moderately adapted to people with various disabilities.
- With headphones that isolated some of the sound, try to order a coffee in the cafe without talking to the waiter.
On the day of the event, a meeting point was established, published in the FB group, where the necessary material (chair, antifaces ...) and marked with the banner of the ExchangeAbility project was. The activity lasted two hours where the activities proposed by the volunteers were carried out.
How did your event go?:
To be honest, the activity didn’t have a good reception either among Erasmus students or among local students, we don’t know if for lack of visibility of the event or because students are in the examination period.
