Inspired by the United Kingdom’s success, Poland has taken meaningful steps to improve dignity and accessibility for people with disabilities. In 2021, the nationwide coalition “Przewijamy Polskę” (“Changing Poland”) was established, with the goal of introducing fully equipped rooms with specialist equipment that enable dignified care for people with disabilities—often referred to as Changing Places facilities (dedicated spaces for changing and personal hygiene).
As a result of this initiative, such facilities are being introduced at the National Stadium in Warsaw, Wawel Castle in Kraków, the ZAMEK Cultural Centre in Poznań, as well as the main railway station in Lublin, among many other locations. These examples show that inclusive solutions can be successfully implemented both in modern infrastructure and in historically significant buildings, even where architectural constraints exist.
Following the UK model, Poland’s experience demonstrates that cooperation between civil society and public institutions can lead to systemic improvements and significantly enhance the quality of life for people with disabilities and their families.
The international ID:CITIZEN campaign aims to promote positive examples of improving accessibility and inclusion of people with disabilities in culture, education, and public spaces in
