Assuring the access to nature education and nature experience for impaired people
Assuring the access to nature education and nature experience for impaired people
The project intends to make nature a fun experience for everyone by ensuring barrier-free access for impaired people. The project seeks answer to two important questions. On the one hand, how to improve the range of guided tours for people with disabilities? And on the other hand, how to prepare and/or change educational nature trails so people with disabilities can use them independently?
The project develops guidelines and information materials for barrier-free modification of nature trails and educational centres, and provides good examples from the project partners’ countries:
- Project leporello
- Guideline to improve the accessibility of guided nature experience (Part 1.)
- Guideline to improve the accessibility of guided nature experience (Part 2.)
- Guideline for barrier-free self-determined nature experience
- PREZI presentation on barrier-free self-determined nature experience
- Transcript of the PREZI presentation (in barrier-free format)
- Decision matrix – Evaluation tool for self-determined nature exerience
- Guideline on eliminating physical barriers
- Description of barrier free nature trails
- Guideline on eliminating communication barriers
- Universal film making
- Barrier-free videos
- Barrier-free audio-guide
- 3D information material
- Simple language definitions
- Sign language interpretation
