Goal of the event:
Since before the ExchangeAbility Week the accessibility of the universities in Budapest was not assessed, we decided to map our campuses within the cooperation of the sections of Budapest, named Semmelweis, ELTE, SZIE, IBS, Corvinus, NUPS.
Short description of the event:
On the first ExchangeAbility Week ever, we wanted to map the universities of Budapest. During these activities the ESNers and our exchange students had the chance to discover our universities through the eyes of the students with any kind of disability. The first was IBS, and in the following days ELTE, Corvinus, SZIE, Semmelweis and NUPS were all MappED!
Why was it useful? We oursevels got information of how accessible are our campuses, what we can forward to the universities and international offices, to initiate the improvement of the buildings.
Furthermore with our universities mapped, foreign students with disabilities can reach information easier on MappED.eu about doing an exchange in Budapest.
How did your event go?:
It was useful that we participated in mapping activity on CEP and our National ExchangeAbility Coordinator helped us, she explained everything.
The participants understand why we need mapping activities but next time we should improve the number of participatants.
