Here is the latest issue of the Design for All Foundation Newsletter,
with updates to keep you busy wherever you may be in the world. There
are plenty of inspirational events for your diary, with conferences and
debates which are both interesting and necessary for all of us, helping
us to contribute to the sustainable and accessible evolution of cities
and to an enhanced quality of life for everyone. There are also new
campaigns and awards which demonstrate once again how advances in
legislation for the rights of all and how the support of individual
initiatives can be indispensible to achieve a better world.
We hope that you find it interesting, and we would also like to take the
opportunity to encourage you to share any material you find interesting
in our Multimedia Library. On behalf of the Foundation team, we wish
you a great start to the autumn.
