To mark Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD), we’re hosting a conversation with the people at the heart of digital inclusion — the apprentices making real change happen. Hear directly from Purple Beard apprentices working across different sectors, as they share how they’re helping teams build more accessible, user-friendly digital experiences. From improving day-to-day tools to influencing long-term strategy, these are the stories of accessibility in action — told by the next generation of practitioners.
Falar sobre inteligência artificial é algo comum atualmente. E quando falamos de acessibilidade, isso não é diferente. Mas afinal, até onde podemos ir adiante com este tema? Até onde podemos chegar? Tudo o que vemos e ouvimos é de fato verdadeiro? Responder assertivamente essas questões exigem um alto grau de envolvimento com as novas tendências e tecnologias. E por isso mesmo é importante entender profundamente essas questões, para não corrermos o risco de falar algo que não condiz com a realidade. Ou que não seja possível ser feito. Compreender as limitações da máquina e as restrições do design são fundamentais pra entender “até onde podemos chegar” e é isso que vamos ver nessa masterclass.
English: Artificial Intelligence + Accessibility, How far can you REALLY go? Talking about artificial intelligence is common these days. And when we talk about accessibility, it’s no different. But after all, how far can we go with this topic? How far can we go? Is everything we see and hear really true? Answering these questions assertively requires a high level of involvement with new trends and technologies. And that’s why it’s important to understand these issues in depth, so we don’t run the risk of saying something that doesn’t match reality. Or that isn’t possible to do. Understanding the limitations of the machine and the design restrictions are essential to understanding “how far we can go” and that’s what we’ll see in this masterclass.
The event is organised by AccessibleEU, with the National Authority for the Protection of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities as a co-organiser, and will provide a comprehensive overview of the current status of the implementation of Law 232/2022, the act that transposes the European Accessibility Act into the national legislation. It is an opportunity for an open dialogue between the representatives of the regulatory bodies, the representatives of the national organisations of persons with disabilities, and the key players acting in the sectors addressed by the European Accessibility Act, to tackle the challenges and explore the possibilities that Law 232 introduces. Beyond the legal landscape, the audience will also get a firsthand look at practical resources designed to make a difference. CED Romania Association will be showcasing their recently launched Romania-accesibila.ro platform – a valuable online hub for all things accessibility. Additionally, there will be presented insightful results of a study exploring the perspectives of persons with disabilities, conducted under the ”A Family of Millions” disability-awareness national campaign by CED Romania Association and Accenture Romania, proudly endorsed by the AccessibleEU.
