SFINKS TOGETHER

Go to a festival together with Circuit Sortie and the initiative ‘De Generous Festivals’. In this project, people with and without disabilities are invited to go out together and/or do other fun things, not as a counselor or as a requester for help, but as friends. Those who need additional assistance or extra facilities can still call on the Inter services.

Are you looking for someone who wants to enjoy the festival with you? You might find a festival buddy on the De Generous Festivals web page.
