The Girona Greenways Consortium (Consorci de les Vies Verdes de Girona), a part of the Diputaci\u00f3 de Girona, won the <strong>second-place prize<\/strong> in the exemplary initiatives category for its greenways <strong>visual accessibility<\/strong> project. <\/em>\r\n\r\nThe European Greenways Awards were created in 2003 and they are held every <strong>two years<\/strong>, with the goal of officially recognizing the initiatives and innovative projects to improve the information and experience for the greenways users all across Europe.\r\n\r\nThe ninth edition of the awards was organized by the <strong>European Greenways Association<\/strong> (EGWA) in partnership with the <strong>Vidzeme Tourism Association<\/strong> and with support from the <strong>Development Agency of Latvia<\/strong>. The purpose of this event is to promote exemplary initiatives and best practices to share the knowledge and to apply these examples to other greenways across Europe.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nIn this edition the international panel of judges, who met on July 10 in <strong>Brussels<\/strong>, gave out awards for projects in two categories: excellence and exemplary initiatives. In the <strong>excellence<\/strong> category they gave awards to projects that created new greenways in Latvia, Czech Republic and Austria. In the <strong>exemplary initiatives<\/strong> category, the winners were the <strong>Rural Development Association of the Basque Country<\/strong> for its project to revitalize local business along the Montes de Hierro greenway, and the <strong>Girona Greenways Consortium<\/strong> for its visual accessibility project along a segment of the Little Train Greenway and the Iron and Coal Route.\r\n\r\nThe visual accessibility project was developed from a regional <strong>tourism promotion plan<\/strong> from the Catalan Government, given to the Girona Greenways Consortium to adapt it into two greenways routes for people with visual impairments. On one hand, they adapted the Little Train II Greenway, that goes from Girona to the Scientific Park (1.5 km), with <strong>signs posted in braille<\/strong> and installed a guide that allows blind people to follow this route on their own. On the other hand, they adapted the signs along the Iron and Coal Route into braille, and <strong>designed an application<\/strong> for Android and iOS that gives an audio-description of the routes.\r\n\r\n[gallery columns=\"4\" ids=\"11830,11834,11838,11842\"]\r\n\r\n\u200bPhotography:\u00a0European Greenways Association (EGWA)\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/314217643\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Video EGWA<\/a>","imatge_destacada":11822,"alt":"European Greenways Awards 2019","data":"20190912"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.2 -
