Sobre nosotros
freiraum-europa: the accessibility experts is an internationally active, non-profit organisation working for the disabled and advocating "design for all".
This umbrella organisation, founded in 2003, sets out to help anyone who is disabled, elderly or with restricted mobility - anyone, in fact, who is affected by structural, technical and social barriers. Our in-house trained voluntary workers also assist public authorities, organisations and companies to reduce obstacles or avoid future ones in public or private spaces.
We lobby internationally and act as a platform to publicise the need for accessibility. We establish networks and give advice on the subjects of adapted housing, building design, barrier-free IT and products. We run training courses and carry out basic scientific work and research. We develop disability-adapted products and aids and make them available to the consumer. We recommend companies which are competent in this field.
