Celebrem el dia Internacional de la Promoció de l’Accessibilitat

La setmana vinent no és una setmana qualsevol a l’EMAV. S’acaben les classes i a més celebrarem la setmana gran del Curs d’Especialització en Audiodescripció i Subtitulació. Ens han preparat un bingo musical solidari (hi haurà premis!!) i una exposició sobre el cinema musical dels anys 50… accessible! Dues activitats originals, inclusives i creatives per celebrar el final de curs, que coincideix amb el Dia Internacional de la Promoció de l’Accessibilitat. Des de l’escola treballem amb valors perquè el nostre alumnat prengui consciència de la necessitat de tenir en compte totes les capacitats a l’hora de crear. Creiem en una societat inclusiva, perquè el problema no rau en el que no podem fer. L’accessibilitat proporciona un marc d’igualtat de condicions en què tothom ho pot tot. Entre totes i tots aconseguirem aquesta peça que falta i que farà de la nostra una societat més justa i per a tothom! #gaad23 #accessibilitat #accessibility
