Checking if our school is for everyone

Children investigate whether the school building is convenient for people in wheelchairs, the blind, and the hearing impaired.

Steps

1. Conversation: what barriers people with disabilities might encounter.
2. Groups get observation cards: entrance, stairs, toilets, signs, door width.
3. Children walk around the school and mark what is convenient and what is difficult.
4. Together you write down proposals for changes.
5. You hand the proposals over to the principal or student council.

Tip: If possible, invite a wheelchair user or someone with a guide dog to talk about their day.
