Sincere thanks are extended to the members of the autonomy-disability committee for their commitment, and to the students of the Handi’Tech civic project and the Handi Mines association for their dedication.
The success of this event, like those organised in the past, is only possible thanks to the participation of as many people as possible and the time that each and every person can devote to one or more activities. Thank you all for your mobilisation!
