The AccessCat Network opens registration for 15x15: Accessibility November, 15  brief 15-minute presentations in which researchers from the research groups CliC, DIDPATRI, NODES, QURBIS, ReLaTe, TRACTE, TRADILEX, and Transmedia Catalonia will teach participants how to be more accessible when it comes to communication and information in a practical and entertaining way. 

The training capsules will take place Mondays and Fridays from 3 to 17 November, from 13:00 to 13:45. They will be online, free, and open to anyone who wants to learn more about the world of accessibility. All capsules will have subtitles and Catalan Sign Language interpreting. The first two capsules will explain what accessibility is and which regulations apply. Later sessions will deal with various topics such as audio description, subtitling, clear communication, or accessibility in websites, the scenic arts, and educational spaces.

The capsules are independent and attendees may choose to attend only a few sessions. In any case, prior registration is required. Below, you’ll find the full programme for 15x15: Accessibility November::
