Inclusive Travel: Navigating Disability and Mobility Challenges on School Excursions

2023-10-14 09:14:00

Disability and mobility do not always go well together. As evidenced by the mishap that happened on Tuesday to a school group from Spa on an excursion to Bokrijk.

Around forty children in 4th and 5th primary school from the Athénée de Spa went to Limburg that day. Seats on the train were reserved. Two of the students had broken legs and, to make it easier, they had, in addition to their crutches, wheelchairs. Their excursion turned into an obstacle course not only for them but also for the 3 teachers who accompanied them. Between faulty escalators, stationary elevators, delays and doors that close too quickly, the day was not easy.
