We are excited to announce that Perkins School for the Blind will host Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD) on May 16, 2024. This will be our first time organizing the event, and it promises to be a day full of insightful activities focused on promoting digital accessibility and inclusion for the more than 1 billion people with disabilities across the world. The day will kick off with the “Put Down Your Mouse” challenge, inviting all of us to relinquish our computer mouse and navigate websites and applications using keyboard shortcuts alone. This exercise aims to simulate the user experience of individuals who rely solely on a keyboard to access digital content, and to emphasize the necessity of accessible web design. We encourage everyone to participate and share their experiences to foster a greater understanding of accessibility challenges and solutions. Try it for all or any part of the day! 10 minutes, 1 hour, all day! Gain a greater understanding of accessibility challenges and solutions

Or they can simply chat with us over a coffee, check some accessibility requirements or find out what we do as an e-accessibility department.

BarriereFREIHEIT als Menschenrecht einer zugänglichen Gestaltung der Gesellschaft ist ein zentrales Zukunftsthema, aber bislang keine prominente Thematik geisteswissenschaftlicher Forschung. Hier liegt ein großes Potential für gesellschaftlich engagierte Geisteswissenschaften, einen entscheidenden Beitrag zur transdisziplinären Bearbeitung globaler Grand Challenges zu leisten. Forschungsperspektiven richten sich auf Technologien und Kulturen der Zugänglichkeit in globaler, kulturvergleichender Perspektive. So kommen Mensch-Technik-Weltverhältnisse als Konstellationen wissenschaftlicher, politischer, rechtlicher, wirtschaftlicher und (medien)technologischer Innovation in den Blick. Wir bieten die Gelegenheit, das Thema (digitale) Barrierefreiheit/Accessibility praktisch und spielerisch zu entdecken. Anlässlich des Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD) am Do 16. Mai 2024 und in Verbindung mit dem Bonn Lab for Analog Games and Imaginative Play stellen wir analoge und digitale assistive Technologien im Gaming-Bereich vor, die auch praktisch ausprobiert werden können (z.B. Microsoft Adaptive Controller für die X-Box). Ebenso lassen sich ausgewählte Low- bis High-Tech Lösungen zur Verbesserung der Barrierefreiheit am Arbeitsplatz praktisch erfahren.
