You can find the previous issues of the magazine and information about Maailmanvaihto office accessibility on our website. If you have any questions, we are happy to answer!
Accessibility and safer space
Inside Maailmanvaihto’s office it is possible to move around with a wheelchair, but the office space is not completely wheelchair accessible: there is an approximately 7 cm doorstep at the entrance, and the toilet is not big enough for a wheelchair. Assistance dogs are welcome.
The accessibility information of Zoom you can find at explore.zoom.us/en/accessibility.
We will follow in the workshop Maailmanvaihto’s guidelines for safer spaces: https://maailmanvaihto.fi/en/guidelines-for-safer-spaces.
