ENIL aims to make the Freedom Drive accessible to all disabled people. All venues that we use are physically accessible and we aim to arrange additional accessible toilets if necessary. Quiet rooms are also provided. Captioning and the International Sign Language are provided during the Freedom Drive conference, with captioning also available during ENIL's 35th Anniversary celebration. Due to budgetary restrictions, we are unable to provide captioning or ISL during the workshops, but we aim to change this in the future. The programme is available in plain language and workshop descriptions will also be available in plain language during the event.

Unfortunately, although Brussels is one of the EU capitals, it is not very accessible to disabled people. The cobbled streets, the lack of dropped curbs, building sites and disruptions, inaccessibility of shops, bars and restaurants make the city difficult to navigate. This is another reason why the Freedom Drive is important. One of our demands is better accessibility of Brussels.

We have compiled a number of links to help you prepare your trip to Brussels and to make your stay enjoyable. Although the Freedom Drive comes with a very packed schedule, we hope that you will have some time to be a tourist in the city.

There are many hotels with accessible rooms, though they tend to be more expensive. However, thanks to Handy Brussels, you can easily find them online. The Brussels transport network is somewhat accessible.
