Days of access to news of the fifth edition on the Internet from 20 to 22 May

“We called it the accessibility game because it is simple and attractive like the game and creates a challenge for yourself, to be perceived as an important moment for growth. There are sites and applications, even internationally, that are of very high quality: we ask these companies to participate and verify, through our experts, which If high quality also corresponds to high accessibility, then this is not excluded. The group of users with disabilities is often forgotten. “
The project is ambitious, and the goal more than that, for the inaugural event of the fifth edition of the Accessibility Days, the largest Italian event on accessibility and inclusion of digital technologies (https://accessibilitydays.it/2021/it/).
Scheduled for May 20, 21 and 22, online due to Covid for the second year in a row, it targets developers, designers, makers, creatives, content publishers and all people involved in digital technologies, not least the world. With distance learning it was bound to revolutionize traditional teaching methods.
The event is organized on the occasion of the Global Accessibility Awareness Days (GAAD), an event promoted worldwide in May to raise the awareness of digital technology participants on the issue of accessibility and inclusion through comparison and interaction with persons with disabilities.
