Session
This session will inspire the participants to duplicate these initiatives and work with us to expand the impact of including the invisible communities:
Acknowledge the need to include people with disabilities to access digital literacy.
Simplify and ensure the understanding of personal data and privacy through localization.
The participants will question whether there is enough work to include those invisible communities. They will also be able to exchange with the speakers on ways to assess their work and potentially become sensitive to the inclusion of people with disabilities in their approach to digital rights.
