Hungarian-Danish joint programs are reported to be launched in order to enhance the integration of people with disabilities in society. Addressing this topic, a two-day conference and workshop has begun on Monday in Budapest. In the event, those best practices from Denmark, which have already been introduced and adopted in Hungary will be presented, as well.

Miklós Soltész, Minister of State for Social and Family Affairs of the Ministry of Human Resources said that the so-called “Guruló” [“Rolling”] project has been already launched, developed on the basis of a Danish model. A nation-wide network of service centres will be established to repair assistive tools for people with disabilities. The network, for instance, is able to convert wheelchairs, according to the needs and physiques of people with reduced mobility.
