“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.
