Lecture is being organized within the project implemented by Croatian association of physical invalids (HSUTI), professional institutions – architects from Croatia, Executive authorities, Ministry of rural development etc.

Croatia is preparing to the accession to EU by implementing many and various projects in order to sensitize social environment of acceptance, tolerance and co-living with persons with various disabilities. With such aim, Croatian association of physical invalids (HSUTI) has been formed and by this project, they want to support the initiative to respect all the laws and regulations that Republic of Croatia had envisioned for the issue of availability.

HSUTI is an alliance of invalids that consists of 81 organization members that confronts with the issue of availability. Availability is not just the problem of ignorance toward certain regulations, but the problem of culture and awareness of citizens in Croatia.
