These activities are designed to be inclusive, accommodating individuals both with and without disabilities. Following workshops and activities based on smart and active tourism, the personal experiences of people with and without disabilities will be shared, fostering a dialogue that further enhances the understanding of the reality faced by people with functional diversity.
