From 24 November to 3 December 2023.
The main aim of Disabilities Week in Brussels is to :
- enable people with disabilities to take part in cultural and sporting activities in Brussels in the same way as everyone else
- support associations active in the field of disability
- raise public awareness of the importance of opening up public places to everyone (by making as many of the events scheduled during this period in the City of Brussels as possible accessible).
To mark the occasion, a number of cultural institutions have decided to become partners of the Week. The City is working with museums that are members of Brussels Museums.
