Community & Business Groups

Nordic Accessibility Community Group

The Nordic Accessibility Community Group brings together participants from across the Nordic region to exchange knowledge, discuss accessibility challenges, and collaborate on improving digital inclusion. The group provides a neutral space for sharing practical experience, comparing approaches across countries, and learning from the diverse perspectives of people working with accessibility in different roles and sectors.

People may join as representatives of a company or organisation, but participation must stay focused on supporting the group’s discussions and activities. Per the CG Process, advertising, product promotion, and sales-driven contributions are not allowed.

Chairs, when logged in, may publish draft and final reports. Please see report requirements.

First workshop – a summary

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.
