For events in Lyon that are accessible to all

The Universal Accessibility Pack for Events

The « Pack Accessibilité Universelle des Événements » (PAU) is a collaborative initiative supported by four social economy organizations based in Villeurbanne near Lyon: PAIPS, Inclusiv'Events, Acces'Festival and La MIETE. The collective offers comprehensive support to make events inclusive and accessible to all. The PAU offers modular formulas including :

• Provision of the Com'NOUS application throughout the event, to enable people with disabilities to find information and communicate quickly and easily.
• Support for managers and teams in setting up the application in advance, for all tasks to be carried out (organization, booth animation, etc.).
• Raising awareness among employees and event teams. 
• Services and innovative accessibility equipment, such as vibrating floors, 3D models, magnetic loops...

Inclusiv’Events trains and raises awareness among professionals in the event industry

This organisation offers advice and training to event organisers and their service providers in order to optimise accessibility for people with disabilities.
Inclusiv’Events coordinates the handicap volunteer team at the Jazz à Vienne Festival and also works with the Woodstower Festival and other cultural entities such as the Renaissance Theatre in Oullins. If you would like to set up this type of reception for your event, do not hesitate to contact them. They also carry out awareness-raising activities for organisations such as companies, local authorities or training centres.

CauMobility, universal accessibility pathways 

Initiated by Inclusiv’Events, the CauMobility solution consists of a removable flexible floor made with flexible and resistant material that seamlessly adapts to surfaces. It allows to make temporary events accessible to the blind and visually impaired, and to people with reduced mobility. 
Winner of the 2019 Innovation Awards, CauMobility was founded next to Lyon, in Villeurbanne, by the La MIETE cultural association teams and AMAAC-Access’Festival, in collaboration with the You Factory FabLab. 
By choosing this easy-to-install solution for your event, you play an active role in making it more accessible to a greater number of people. Don’t hesitate to contact them for more information.

SWING le Lab, innovation for universally accessible shows in Lyon 

Based in Oullins near Lyon, SWING le Lab is an innovation center dedicated to the creation of shows combining sound and light. Committed to inclusion, it has developed the “Accessibility Bouquet”, a set of devices designed to make cultural events accessible to all, whatever the age, culture or abilities of the spectators. This package includes vibrating floors to feel the music, tactile models to understand the architecture, audio descriptions via the DiscretSon application, as well as signposted paths and reserved areas for people with reduced mobility.

These innovations have been deployed during several events in Lyon and the surrounding area. For example, during the “Fourvière en voix” show projected onto the Notre-Dame de Fourvière basilica as part of the Festival of Lights 2024, almost 1,500 people with disabilities were able to benefit from these facilities. 

Evelity and Andyamo, making Lyon events accessible on the move  

In Lyon, the accessibility of events now extends to urban mobility, thanks to two major innovations supported by Keolis Lyon: Evelity and Andyamo. These digital tools enable visitors with disabilities to reach event sites more easily and independently.  

Evelity is a voice guidance application that guides visually impaired people through metro stations. Thanks to its precise audio guidance, Evelity enables spectators to find their way around unaccompanied. It has already been integrated into Bellecour and Grange Blanche underground stations.  

Andyamo offers a route planner fully adapted to people with reduced mobility. Directly accessible via the TCL application, this solution takes into account urban obstacles, staircases and accessibility equipment to propose personalized routes. During the Fête des Lumières 2023, for example, Andyamo enabled many participants, in wheelchairs or with strollers, to navigate easily between the artistic installations in the city center.
