Relations between the Nordic Welfare Model
and Universal Design and Accessibility
Nordic Welfare Model
• based on the core values of equal opportunities,
social solidarity and security for all.
• applies to care for social outcasts and inclusion of
neglected and structurally discriminated groups in
society
• promotes human rights and the principle that
everyone is entitled to equal access to social and
health services, education and culture
Human rights formulate what
must not be made against any
man/woman and what should be
done for each human.
