Written by: Stipo Margić
On September 28, 2023, the Liberato Association received an award from the Split-Dalmatia County for providing support and improving the quality of life of people with disabilities and other marginalized groups. The working body of the SDŽ Assembly, the Youth Council, proposed the Liberato Association for the joint award of the Split-Dalmatia County in 2022, and the award was received by our president Stipo Margić on behalf of the association.
The county assembly recognized a number of our projects intended to make everyday life easier for people with disabilities. They particularly highlight the DisCloud screen adapted to people with disabilities, providing them with all the information they need to participate in the social activities of the local community, and the LiberatoMap information platform, which is the first innovation of its kind in the European Union. LiberatoMap provides detailed information to people with disabilities, the elderly and those with reduced mobility, as well as parents with children in strollers, about the accessibility of the facility, tourist attraction, parking space, and the like.
This award was made possible by the dedicated work and support of all the members and volunteers of the Liberato Association. Also, our partners and associates provided a great contribution to the work of the association:
-University of Split
-Student union of the University of Split
-University Department of Professional Studies, Split
- Youth Council of Split-Dalmatia County
- the cities of Split, Trogir, Omiš and Kaštela.
We would like to thank everyone involved in helping to change the world we live in, and from this recognition we derive motivation to continue our journey towards a more inclusive society.
