Accessibility Map

On October 23, 2012, with 500 days remaining until the Paralymic Games, the "Accessibility Map" portal was launched. The project has provided a platform to unite an interactive map of the whole of Russia with clubs for getting involved in Paralympic sports, along with an information resource about the Paralympic Movement. The Accessibility Map is being supported by Sochi 2014 Volunteer Centers from 16 regions of Russia, and by the 42 regions involved in the state program "Accessible Environment". Also, anyone who so wishes can send in information about sports clubs for people with disabilities, and venues that form part of the barrier-free environment, for inclusion on the map.

The "Accessibility Map" is being implemented in conjunction with the foundation to support people with disabilities, "United Сountry", which aims to integrate people with disabilities into society on the legal basis of the Convention on the rights of persons with disabilities. The Fund is headed by the Paralympic champion, Deputy of the State Duma and General Secretary of the Paralympic Committee of Russia, Mikhail Terentiev.
