The Nordic Accessibility Community Group serves as an open forum to discuss challenges, network with accessibility professionals, and promote the importance of digital accessibility and inclusive design in the Nordic region.
Note: Community Groups are proposed and run by the community. Although W3C hosts these
conversations, the groups do not necessarily represent the views of the W3C Membership or staff.
Chairs, when logged in, may publish draft and final reports. Please see report requirements.
Update: The time of the workshop meeting is now changed from “CEST” to “CET”. We apologize for any confusion around the time of the invitation.
It has now been a few weeks since our last gathering, and I am here with some news.
At the workshop, we agreed to set up some platform for easing communication within the group. As per Jean-Yves Moyen’s suggestion, we have decided to use the official W3C Community on Slack. Here is how you join:
September 22nd marked our first proper session as a group. Thank you to all who joined us!
The intent of the workshop was to get a list of prioritized focus areas to work on. The meeting had 15 attendants participating in a shared workshop document (Word docx).
Outcome
The outcome of the document was a list of suggestions for what the group could focus on in the coming year. We grouped these suggestions under the following categories:
Meetups and networking
Providing feedback on standards and legislation
Co-creating/sharing knowledge and resources
Accessibility on universities’ curriculum
Research
Other
For the next meeting, we can open a discussion about the most prioritized individual activities that were suggested.
Chairs
Jean-Yves Moyen & Erik Gustafsson have agreed to join as Chairs, which brings us to a total of 5 Chairs in the group. If anyone else would like to join, reach out to us.
Internal communication
We agreed to set up a shared Slack space to ease communication and social interactions in the group. More to follow on this.
