People
“Persons with disabilities who can enjoy cultural performances, sports events, festivals,... without any barriers - it's not a dream.” Katrien GELDERS
Intro vzw makes any kind of event accessible to persons with disabilities: festivals, shows, sports events, fairs, training courses, conferences etc. Intro vzw offers solutions to practical problems and provides services for event organisers and for the persons with disabilities who attend the events. These can be translation tools, interpreters, ramps or technical equipment. For persons using hearing aids, a looping system removes disturbing ambient sounds - the guest only hears the relevant sound.
Problems Targeted
Persons with disabilities wish to participate in a growing number of events, but they are often confronted with practical discomforts. Intro vzw wants to tackle these issues by targeting the accessibility of the information and the environment.
