Increasing digital inclusion by promoting Internet accessibility is a priority in modern times. The priorities of inclusion and diversity and tackling digital transformation are both at the forefront.
We invite you to an open event aimed at encouraging the online inclusion of people with all kinds of disabilities, enriching the professional skills and employment prospects of web developers and increasing the readiness of stakeholders for the implementation of the European Accessibility Act (EAA). Participants will have the opportunity to learn how to develop online environments that are accessible to all citizens, regardless of disability.
This event is addressed to:
- VET teachers and students
- Programmers
- Small and medium-sized enterprises engaged in web development in compliance with accessibility criteria
- Special education teachers
- Carers of people with disabilities
- People with special educational needs
- Disability Associations
The event is part of the project “WEAVE: WEb Accessibility through VEt” and is funded by the European Union under the Erasmus+ programme.
