The School of Universal Design visited KNUBA

The visit of representatives of the “School of Universal Design” was an important step in the development of our future veterans' center in terms of inclusivity and accessibility. The inspection of the premises and the involvement of the School's experts will help shape architectural solutions focused on universal design, which will improve the convenience and functionality of the space for all veterans and their families, in particular for people with disabilities.

Such partnerships can significantly improve the quality of veterans' initiatives, since the School of Universal Design focuses on barrier-free access and on adapting the environment in line with international standards. Real projects developed by the School's participants can become effective solutions for our veterans' center, which will help integrate the principles of universal design into the infrastructure, creating a space for the dignified and comfortable stay of all visitors.

The initiative organized by UNDP in cooperation with the government of Sweden will become the foundation for the reconstruction of Ukraine, where inclusivity becomes a priority in construction and architecture. And our Institute for Reintegration, Rehabilitation and Professional Development of Veterans “Architecture of Resilience” of KNUBA will put the achievements into practice at its own facilities.
