Go...It's Accessible > Milacessos

Milacessos

Milacessos is a non-profit organization, founded by a group of people with experience in the field of accessibility and solidarity in a spirit of cooperation and mutual aid. Together we decided to join forces taking into account the knowledge of each one in the team, creating an innovative project within the social economy.

In accordance with the United Nations, 2009, Convention for the rights of people with disabilities and the Milacessos objectives, we have created a multisectoral project of services and social solidarity for the promotion of accessible tourism and equal opportunities in access to leisure.

We believe that leisure is essential in promoting the health and fulfillment of human beings. In Social solidarity, one of our objectives, is the promotion of accessible tours with people with disabilities who otherwise would not have this opportunity.

Because we also believe in a sustainable project, we intend to develop a sector devoted to the work in accessible tourism, the training of light and heavy skills in the area of services to people with disabilities and Projects and Social Responsibility:

  • The promotion of accessible tourism through cultural and recreational tours requiring an earlier survey of accessibilities on site and specific conditions such as an accessible van, ramps or accessible WC.
  • The training to all who are serving people with special needs. With this training we want the professionals to feel confident without constraints, fears or concerns about not knowing how to deal with disabilities;
  • Projects and Social Responsibility is intended to be an asset modifying conducts and helping people and organizations to improve the accessibility conditions, reinforcing an area sometimes undervalued.

At Milacessos we battled for a concept of tourism accessible to all, promoting a more fair and inclusive society and asserting Portugal as a accessible tourism destination of excellence.
