Gamers are being encouraged to fundraise for The Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) as part of a drive to highlight inclusion in gaming. Coinciding with GAAD, RNIB is encouraging supporters to use their enjoyment of online gaming to support the charity via livestreams on or around this date. Gamers will be supported with materials including overlays of various sight conditions and films about our work.
Our roundtables are a place to share experiences and challenges and exchange ideas. We do this with professionals from different markets and industries, with one overarching interest: web technology. Each month we host one online meeting, each with a different topic. For the month of May we have chosen a11y. Because we are in the Netherlands and the number of participants is limited, we have chosen to only make this round table available to persons in the Netherlands.
All talks will be on the topic of how to get an accessibility mindset at your workplace! This broadcast is free and will be captioned in English! Topics: Inclusive language at work, From nobody cares to natively curios, Sticky a11y wins, From a11y awareness to knowledge and ability, Accessibility as a quiz, I have to tell you.
