Upcoming Events
ACCESS-IT Workshops
Two ACCESS-IT workshops will be organised in the morning of 23rd September 2009. One workshop will focus on ICT services for independent living and Elderly and one workshop on Accessible Learning through ICT.
1. Workshop on ICT and Aging
In specific, the aim of the first workshop on ICT and Aging is to involve the main key actors/projects in Europe in the area of ICT and Aging and attempt to address the following questions.
- How can we be sure current ICT based initiatives are actually what people want?
- Will humans be replaced by technology?
- Will there be "a care divide" between rich and less well-off regions and citizens in the future? How can technology help to avoid this?
- ICT for ageing involves different areas (health care, socialisation and contact with your peers, independent living, , etc). How these diverse areas merge to offer a holistic approach for seniors?
- Can ICT really make the significant differences, we are hearing about?
- How can we move the research, development and policy agenda forward?
2. Workshop on the design and creation of accessible learning materials for all
The second workshop about Accessible Learning is of value to anyone producing learning or communication materials for public or internal use and explores how design for all principles should be applied and which technologies can help organisations create materials in alternative formats including mp3, Braille and daisy formats.
