During the 'Unrestricted Month', the municipality of Mol highlights not only its activities but also the commitment behind them. The advisory council for people with disabilities and its associated working groups contribute to initiatives such as the G-fuif, the funfair day for people with disabilities, the school project, and the autism information market. These efforts make accessibility and inclusion concrete within the municipality. Further information can be found at www.gemeentemol.be/personenmeteenbeperking.
The advisory council for people with disabilities contributes ideas on themes important to individuals with disabilities and their networks. This includes topics such as accessibility, leisure, social interaction, information, and participation in daily life. This work aligns with the municipality's ambition to foster an inclusive society where everyone counts, focusing on well-being, connection, equal opportunities, and inclusion in its multi-year plan.
Within the advisory council, several working groups are active, each with a specific focus. The G-force working group organizes activities for people with disabilities, such as the G-fuif, to promote social interaction and enjoyment. The autism working group focuses on information, recognition, and advice regarding autism, with initiatives like the autism information market. The accessibility working group advises on communication, information, services, digital systems, and physical accessibility within the municipality, identifying and signaling barriers that need addressing. The youth and accessibility working group aims to raise awareness among children through a school project, introducing students to various disabilities like visual impairment, hearing loss, wheelchair use, and autism.
The advisory council draws upon the experiences of its members, volunteers, and involved residents to identify challenges and thus better tailor activities, buildings, information, and services for people with disabilities. This leads to concrete initiatives like the G-fuif bringing people together, the more accessible funfair day, and the school project fostering understanding of life with a disability.
Individuals interested in accessibility and inclusion, whether from personal experience, as a parent, caregiver, volunteer, professional, or concerned resident, are welcome to contact the council without obligation to learn about its work and explore joining the advisory council or one of its working groups.
