WINNING APPLICATIONS
Viewpoint change
The project is topical in October, which is the month of vision in our country. The project aims to focus on the everyday problems faced by visually impaired people, including accessibility, safe transport and social inclusion. Accessible built environment, accessible and safe public transport is an area that constantly puts visually impaired people at a disadvantage, and therefore it is necessary to ensure the continuous presence of visually impaired people, with a focus on good practices, innovative solutions, interactivity, community actions. By implementing the project, they would like to create a working group to help decision-makers in accessibility, coordinating and monitoring these tasks.

The "small marketplace" in Lajosváros
The Lajosváros district of Eger is predominantly suburban in character. Small-scale producers who cultivate gardens want to sell their fruit and vegetables close to their homes. There is a vegetable pavilion and three shops where fruit and vegetables can be bought. Access to the downtown market is expensive by car and time-consuming by public transport. Small farmers would like to provide fresh 'organic' vegetables for older people and parents with children. The aim of the project is to mobilise local activists for the establishment of a local farmers' market - collecting signatures, consulting decision-makers and local stakeholders - and then applying to the municipality to secure a site for the farmers' market.
