Wie alles begann
The Story#MapMyDayWhat the international event for accessibility set into motion
The Story#MapMyDayBe the movement
We called upon the general public, our partners and people in our international network to join the movement for more accessibility: they were invited to use the online map Wheelmap.org to mark places in their neighborhoods as to whether or not they are accessible without steps for people with a wheelchair, walking aid or pushing a child in a stroller.
How it all beganThe WheelmapThe online map for wheelchair accessible places
By the end of November 2015 the accessibility status of some 600,000 cafés, libraries, swimming pools and many more public places could be found on Wheelmap. But this number would soon change…
The campaign launch The websiteOn the way to December 3 with www.mapmyday.org
The website content was available in the six official United Nations languages - English, Spanish, French, Arabic, Russian, Mandarin - and German, because we aimed to reach as large an international audience as possible.
It was especially important for us that the website’s design be appealing and user friendly, inspiring visitors to participate in the mapping event. But the website would not be the only means of motivating people to take part.
