Newsletter nº15
May, 2009

After a period of communicative absence, thought full of activity, we start again with the NEWSLETTER, with the renewed will of offering the latest updates from the Design for All Foundation and the ‘Design for All’ environment.

In order to get up-to-date, in the first number of this new stage we will focus on the situation of the ‘Flag of Tows and Cities for All’ project, and we would like to grasp this opportunity to introduce you the latest incorporation to the team of the Foundation. We will devote the next number to the collaborative companies and organisations.

We do hope you will find it both interesting and informative. As always, we are at your disposal for any proposal or criticism you may have. Our warmest greetings on behalf of the team at the Design for All Foundation.
