Processtöd Tillgänglighet/Action Support Accessibility 

We help projects within the European Social Fund to work with accessibility for people with functional disabilities.

One person in five in Sweden has a functional disability. You know, don’t you, that your ESF application must have an accessibility perspective? We will support you to get you started. Action Support Accessibility offers flexible support

• when you have an idea and make an ESF application for a pre-study
• when you have received approval and started
• when you apply for the project to be carried out
• when the project to be carried out has been approved and started
