Improved accessibility to public places brings benefits for all. For people with reduced mobility, it is essential to enable them to participate fully in social life; for other citizens, it guarantees greater comfort and safety in their daily lives. This was the message conveyed by sector players at the conference on the law on universal accessibility of places open to the public, held at the Mamer Schlass. Mamer was the first municipality in the country to organize such a conference. Minister Max Hahn and Mayor Luc Feller called for the development of accessible infrastructures to be seen as an enrichment for all. Around 15% of the national population is affected by some form of disability, making access to public places and services often difficult. Experts from the Ministry, the National Center of Competence for the Accessibility of Buildings (ADAPTH) and Info-Handicap detailed aspects of the law. In video testimonials, Katrin Kohl and Claude Keup highlighted the obstacles that people with physical disabilities encounter in their daily lives when trying to move around independently.
