About the accessibility of Maailmanvaihto’s office and website
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. We will gladly give you further information (see our contact information above). If you notice accessibility issues on our website, we would be happy to hear about them from you at tiedottaja@maailmanvaihto.fi.
Safer space and reporting harassment
In all of Maailmanvaihto’s activities and events, we follow together Maailmanvaihto’s guidelines for safer spaces. At Maailmanvaihto, harassment, unequal treatment of others, racism, and other inappropriate behaviour are unaccepted. If you have been subjected to these at Maailmanvaihto, can report it through the electric report form.
