KBF: PARTNERSHIP FOR ACCESSIBILITY
On 13 November 2019, we signed the “Partnership for Accessibility” at the Ministry of Investment and Development. The signatories of the document are guided by the idea of accessibility and equal treatment, while jointly striving for equalising opportunities and access for all citizens to the physical, social, and cultural environment, as well as to recreation, rest, sports, health care, education, work, transport, information and means of communication. Why us? We are a socially responsible institution, open to the needs of all recipients. We are making every effort to ensure all kinds of amenities to people, who face difficulties accessing culture and do our best to achieve full accessibility of our events. We also make sure that during our events, there rea designated areas for seniors, people with disabilities and parents with children.
KBF: A SENIOR-FRIENDLY PLACE
On 5 December 2019, the KBF received the Senior Friendly Place award from Mayor Andrzej Kulig. The certificate is granted for three years (2020-2022).
The initiative launched by the Małopolska Region Local Government and the City of Krakow aims at distinguishing senior-friendly places, as well as promoting the activities of institutions and organisations offering products, services and discounts with seniors in mind, while providing services and architecture tailored to the needs of the elderly.
