RECITE ME Event
Accessibility To Me Week (ATMW) is a week dedicated to opening up about the world of accessibility and inclusion from an individual perspective and taking action to create inclusive digital spaces.
Last year Accessibility To Me launched with personal experiences to kick start the conversation, connecting over 1 million people worldwide to celebrate diversity and inclusion. People across the globe shared what accessibility meant to them and why it is so incredibly important. We all have different experiences, challenges, abilities, and thoughts regarding the world of inclusion, whether at home or in the workplace.
For Accessibility To Me Week 2022, we want to develop our personal understanding and needs for accessibility, spotlighting international audiences online under our theme, ‘One World’. Together, we can make a difference. Recite Me is proud to provide resources and information so that everyone can learn more about the importance of accessibility and inclusion.
The online world brings us together and we can access content from anywhere at a touch of a button. Pair this with the growing diversity of our countries, content needs to be accessible in more than just English or the native language of that website.
Organizations around the world have the responsibility to provide content that can be accessed by anyone living in their location. This is supported by census data, which shows that the foreign-born population in the USA has reached a record high of 44.8 million, and globally there are over 244 million international migrants.
Connecting online creates One World and together we need to tackle digital inclusion head-on to break down barriers for everyone.
There are many different ways to help us fly the flag and create awareness to promote accessibility and inclusion. We have created a helpful guide that outlines all the different ways you can get involved with links to helpful resources, information, and assets. Download the document and show your support for Accessibility To Me.
Our assets will help you engage, educate, and communicate the importance of accessibility for all. Follow the link to download:
