The next Zlin Design Week is fast approaching and we try to think not only about everything (thanks to all the to-do lists and production boards!), but also about everyone. So far, unfortunately, we don’t have the whole program 100% barrier-free, but we are gradually working on individual solutions and we promise to be 100% accessible next year! Because we want you to enjoy the festival as much as possible, without restrictions and complications. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So what parts of the programme can you go to this year with a disability?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Opening ZDW<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This year’s Opening will be in the Municipal Theatre Zl\u00edn. There is ready a barrier-free access for visitors in wheelchairs. They can enjoy the entire Opening with a concert by the Police Symphony Orchestra, the announcement of the results of the international competition Best in Design, and a dance performance by the All Style Unit. Actor Jan Cina will guide you through the entire programme. If you have any questions about the accessibility of the evening, you can contact Lenka from our team, who will be happy to discuss the possibilities with you: lenka.drabesova@zlindesignweek.com<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Accompanying programme<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Discussions in the Design Cantina at Zl\u00edn Castle and the design shop are unfortunately not wheelchair accessible, for workshops we could come up with individual solutions, which Eli\u0161ka will try to arrange for you. Just contact her at eliska.janakova@zlindesignweek.com<\/p>\n\n\n\n
