Welcome to the awardee video of Beit Issie Shapiro´s Friendship Park, a winner of the 2018 Zero Project Award on Accessibility.

Beit Issie Shapiro (BIS) is a non-profit organization that develops and provides innovative therapies and services for children with disabilities and their families. BIS is not only a service provider but also a social change agent, aiming to scale up its solutions through changing attitudes, training and impacting legislation. Based in the city of Ra’anana, Israel, in 2006 the organization developed Friendship Park, the country’s first accessible and inclusive playground, and it has developed a methodology to replicate them all over Israel. Today, the model has been replicated in 30 municipalities throughout the country.
