  • Tomorrow is Global Accessibility Awareness Day

    We learn from Accessible Bristol that tomorrow, Thursday 9th May is Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD). On that day people all over the world will be coming together to spread the word about accessibility and Accessible Bristol will be among them.

    Throughout the day the Accessible Bristol team be on Twitter answering your questions about technology and accessibility, as well as tweeting useful accessibility tips and resources.

    Tweet your questions to @AccessibleBrstl and use the #GAAD hashtag to keep track of Global Accessibility Awareness Day activities.

    However, Accessible Bristol also has a challenge for the people in Bristol and the South West for 9th May and challenge you to do at least one of the following things on 9th May:

    • Go mouseless for an hour (touch screen devices don’t count);
    • Surf the web with a screen reader for an hour;
    • Create a captions file and share it with the video’s owner;
    • Write a blog post or make a video about the way you use and experience the web.
