Declaration of accessibility
We at Havatzel Cultural and Educational Institutions (Givat Haviva) believe that our website should be accessible and available to everyone, and want to provide an accessible Internet service to the general public. Therefore, we adhere as much as possible according to the accessibility guidelines for content on the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).
Level AA: Keyboard navigation – User interface customization – Font customization – Color customization.
Despite all our efforts to allow everyone to adapt the site to individual’s needs, there may still be pages that are not fully accessible or are in the process of being made accessible.
We work to improve accessibility in the organization, adding and improving the possibility of reaching the optimal level of accessibility, as technological advances allow.
The Givat Haviva campus is spread over an area of approximately 37 acres. Some of the buildings are classified as historic buildings for preservation, so it is difficult to make them accessible, but you can reach almost every building by car and find parking and restroom facilities adapted for people with special needs.
The campus staff is ready to provide help, and all areas can be entered with a service animal.
