On this topic, on the occasion of the National Accessibility Week, Ihor Shelkoshveiev, a senior lecturer at the Department of Sociology and Psychology, conducted a thematic quest for students and cadets, who study in the city of Kamianets-Podilskyi.

Its goal is to form in young people an understanding of the principles of accessibility, the development of empathy, barrier-free communication skills, and the awareness of the importance of creating an accessible and inclusive educational environment. The quest participants worked in teams, completing interactive tasks developed based on the materials of the "Barrier-Free Handbook".

While going through thematic stations, students and cadets analyzed the concepts of accessibility, inclusion and tolerance, learned to use correct barrier-free vocabulary, modeled situations of interaction with people with different needs, and also identified physical, informational and communication barriers in the educational space. Special attention was paid to issues of communication ethics, supporting people in stressful situations and overcoming common stereotypes about barrier-freeness.
