Description

In the Testteams4all project, our goal is to enhance and expand upon the current methodologies and expertise in assessing the accessibility of built environments, as practised by our partner organizations Voorall and Dito. We aim to achieve this by creating a new toolkit and associated training, which will be made available online for everyone, with a particular focus on people with disabilities who face accessibility barriers when visiting shops, restaurants, and other public buildings.

Objectives

The project’s objectives are to:

  • S01: Further develop a professional and appealing toolkit and training for people with disabilities to assess the accessibility of the built environment, making it available online to a broad audience.
  • S02: Use the developed toolkit to train people with disabilities in the Netherlands and Belgium through sounding board groups.
  • S03: Gain experience with Erasmus+ partnership projects for new organisations within the consortium.
