The technical tour “An Accessible Helsinki” is arranged in co-operation with

During the tour the participants will get the chance
to get acquainted with an exhibition of different environmental products
used to increase accessibility. The products make moving around easier for
those using wheelchairs or walkers or have a visual disability.
The exhibition aspires to increase the use of solutions that will increase
