ParaWG

In Switzerland’s first inclusive 'ParaWG'-flatshare, students from ETH Zurich live alongside people with spinal cord injuries.

Play

In collaboration with ETH Zurich and Balgrist University Hospital, the Swiss Paraplegic Centre (SPC) has opened Switzerland’s first inclusive 'ParaWG'-flatshare for wheelchair users in Zurich.

The flatshare involves students from ETH Zurich living alongside people with mobility impairments. While wheelchair users undertake independent living training, students gain awareness of the challenges individuals with disabilities face in daily life.

The idea is that students draw on this life experience and combine it with their university education to take better account of the needs of wheelchair users in future technical developments.
