Creating an Accessible Environment in Odesa

image

In Odesa, the process of establishing special markings for a barrier-free route is ongoing.

The Ministry of Culture and Information Policy has unveiled a new official design for communications within the framework of the National Strategy for Creating an Accessible Environment by 2030.

This design includes:

  • a unique logo;
  • established guidelines for font and color usage;
  • a visual system,
  • based on six areas of accessibility:
  • physical,
  • informational,
  • educational,
  • digital,
  • civic,
  • economic.

Each of these areas is represented by a separate dot in the logo. Together they form a circle, symbolizing unity, inclusion, and equal space for all, regardless of their characteristics.

This logo is being utilized for marking the barrier-free route in Odesa.

This is a significant step in a larger initiative launched by Odesa's mayor, Hennadiy Trukhanov, as part of the pilot project «Movement Without Barriers». The marking is carried out by expert groups of the Council for Barrier-Free Environment, involving people with disabilities, urban planners, and accessibility specialists.
