Accessibility is a prerequisite for inclusion and social participation.

Our goal is to approach universal accessibility, in line with the provisions of art. 2 of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (Law 18/2009). This means:

  • Promote the active participation of people with physical, visual, hearing and intellectual-relational disabilities, working on environmental, behavioral, linguistic factors and with the aim of achieving an inclusive approach.
  • Offering full participation in Milano Cortina 2026 and a fulfilling path for everyone, free of any barriers or discrimination.
  • Consider the needs and desires of each person, regardless of their condition, disability, age, linguistic, cultural and gender difference.
  • Aiming for the environmental wellbeing of spaces and territories involved in the Games and leaving a positive material and immaterial legacy.
  • Promote the Universal Design approach and aim to design "enabling" and inclusive environments that can respond to criteria and objectives not only of accessibility but also of comfort, well-being, usability, safety, sustainability, recognizability.

Areas of intervention:

  • Urban spaces: cities, territories, places and services related to the Games.
