“Ensuring barrier-free access is one of the key directions of Ukraine’s European integration, as well as an important part of modern human rights standards enshrined in international and national legislation. The UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, to which Ukraine has joined, as well as Ukrainian regulatory acts, in particular the Law of Ukraine “On the Basics of Social Protection of Persons with Disabilities in Ukraine”, is a guide for all of us in the direction of creating an inclusive society. I am convinced that the knowledge you have gained during this course will help you to contribute to the implementation of barrier-free principles in the daily work of the State Committee for Television and Radio-Broadcasting of Ukraine, making Ukrainian society more inclusive and fair for everyone. I wish you succesfull work!”.
