Title: Antidiscrimination and Design for all


1
Antidiscrimination and Design for all
  • In Serbia, we have the people with disabilities
    anti-discrimination law
  • now we have seen why this law is important, I
    would like to tell about prevention of
    discrimination

2
Disability awareness which includes the medical
model of disability, puts accent on disability of
individual, i.e. his/her ability. The new
social model of disability, emphasis on the
society/environment as reason for making person
disabled.Keep on the mind that
Everyone of us once in life has been in the
situation of person with disability
Pete Kercher President EIDD

Please stand up!
  • Now, sit down- if you have ever broken an arm
    or a leg,
  • - if you wear glasses,
  • if you do not have a good Internet connection,

Pete Kercher President EIDD

se non mi capite ora,
Now, please sit down
5
  • Now, please sit down- if you have children,-
    if you are colour blind,
  • if you ever have some problems with your back,
  • - if you ever use a supermarket trolley

6
The rest of you can sit down now,
too,becauseif you are very, very lucky,one
day you will be old yourself!
7
Across Europe, human diversity in age, culture
and ability is greater than ever.We now survive
illness and injury and live with disability as
never before. todays world is a complex place,
it is one of our own making, one in which we
therefore have the possibility and the
responsibility to base our designs on the
principle of inclusion.
8
Will we ever learn to live together? - How
many people want to live more safely and
economically stable when they are over 65 -
How many young people are aware of having
children, because of possible collapse of their
active life- How many people with disabilities
would be more active and give more contribution
to their local community Maybe we can
conclude thatEveryone of us in some
moment/period of life need to have the same
conditions in their environment and society as
people who cant see, hear or walk
9
Why the design for all is important for
all?Short technical def.Design for all
represents the intelligent simple solutions of
design of things and environment to be easily
used by everyone no matter age or abilities.
But, Design for all doesn't mean only the
results, but also the process of thinking and
understand what we can do in order to make
everyone more active and included into social
movement? Design for All is design for human
difference, social inclusion and
equality.ISDC as candidate member for EIDD
Design for All Europe, accents the design for all
as the prevention of discrimination
10
Antidiscrimination and design for all...
evolving into inclusion
  • Society designed for all
  • Includes the schools and workplaces fully
    accessible to people with disabilities
  • Nobody is afraid that his/hers temporarily
    disability will make active life impossible
  • Young people has no fear that their children will
    inhibit them in everyday life
  • Elder people will never be afraid to feel that
    they are old for active life
  • --------------------
  • Discriminating society
  • Those people which cannot move easily or have
    child in pushchair, cant enter to public
    transportation or buildings with many stairs
  • Those people who cant hear cannot use phones
  • All of those people which want to work, be
    active, stay out of social mainstream and become
    the social ballast and passive receivers of
    social care payments
  • Those people which cannot live active, they cant
    also live ever economically stabile

11
Many people with disabilities in Serbia meet the
everyday discrimination and often those who are
discriminating are not visible ...This is not
the disability why 87 of people with
disabilities in Serbia are not employed, but the
inaccessibility of public transportation and
schools are cause of difficult conditions for
education, work and life of people with
disabilities
  • Advanced civilized
  • society,
  • doesn't discriminates anyone
  • no matter age or abilities
  • But, there are many situations where society
    discriminates its members, because of lack of
    knowledge or negligence, where is the main reason
    of discrimination is bad conceived/designed
    environment

Thats why is Design for all matter and those
are reasons why anti-discrimination is needed
Of course we need legislation and
standards,but, even without legislation and
standards, there is enough evidence all around
us that the customer base is changing More of
us are getting older More women lead full
professional lives.Less children are being
born.Disabled people now live fuller,more
independent lives!
17
That is matter because ISDC is invited to
present the potential of accessible tourism in
Serbia on Crete on Accessible Tourism conference

Case StudyBarcelona the renaissance of a city
and its economy as a direct consequence of the
application of Design for All.

How bad designed environment helps discrimination
Bad design underlines the disabling aspects of
- places,- buildings,- products,-
services,- information,- and society as a
whole All these negative effects can be
prevent by applying the principles of Design for
All.
19
  • This main idea is the prevention for
    discrimination because
  • Well designed environment,
  • which is accessible to everyone
  • is
  • the advancing society,
  • permanently in move,
  • helps to civilization improvement
  • Make stronger the civil society

and finally supports the social inclusion
and equalization
