Paracin Convention

Dear friends and colleagues,

My first Convention meeting was on Saturday 9 th of December.

G17 Plus organized its presentation in Paracin. The plan for me was to be with other candidates on grand stage in Sport arena in Paracin. I accepted with one condition – to have access to this stage on my own.

I was really surprised when I saw what has been done – a long solid ramp according to all standards which was also a kind of decoration for the rest of citizens at the same time.

It was pretty exciting feeling to go to the stage first in line and all other candidates after me – a hundred of them used ramp instead of existing stairs! That was a practical presentation of “design for all” to all present citizens!

For some of you this is maybe not such attraction (there was also a ramp on UNDP reception last week) but for me this was a nice example how we can work on awareness rising of persons with disabilities and equal opportunities no matter on different interest dimension.

I wanted to show my first experience with you and a couple of photographs as an illustration of this story.

Sincerely yours,

Gordana
