ACCESSIBLE project - Pilot training

Testing of the new module-based curriculum developed as part of the ACCESSIBLE project has begun as part of the Accessible Tourism course at University of Pécs Faculty of Business and Economics. At the first pilot training of the 4-class brief module, Tibor Gonda and Zoltán Raffay (Associate Professors of the UoP) discussed the special needs of people with disabilities (PwDs) in addition to the theoretical knowledge. The associates of the Kerek Világ Foundation (Zsuzsa, Evelin and Balázs) also took part in the pilot event. Evelin has been blind since birth and Balázs lives with physical disability. Both helped the participants a lot to recognise the special needs of PwD’s by talking honestly, authentically and in an interesting way about their difficulties and joys. The students participated in the lesson with great interest, empathy, and interactivity.
