Welcome to Global Accessibility Awareness Week at UL, a week of activities designed to raise awareness, promote inclusive practice, provide training, and celebrate the progress made in accessibility across UL.
is an annual worldwide day of action aimed at getting everyone talking, thinking and learning about digital accessibility and inclusion. This year, GAAD falls on Thursday, May 15, but UL has decided to extend the event for a full week, underlining the importance of accessibility and inclusivity at the University.
We have a packed agenda for the week ahead and hope that you can all attend one or two of the events.
Accessibility is everyone's responsibility, and it requires a university-wide collaborative approach to deliver a truly inclusive university for staff and students successfully. This approach is mirrored in the development of the calendar for GAAD, which was designed, developed, and supported by staff from several key areas, including Student Life, Marketing and Communications, the Educational Assistive Technology Centre (EATC), the Centre for Transformative Learning (CTL), 黑料社 Services, Learning Technologists, Disability Services, Buildings and Estates, ITD staff, the Equality, Diversity and Inclusion unit, and students.
This week of activities has something for everyone, so please come and join us by registering for some of the events or engaging with some of the activities for this week.
