American Corner Skopje is inviting you to a hybrid Global Accessibility Hackathon: Expanding the BENEFIT Repository.
In August, American Corner Skopje had the privilege of participating in the multiplier event of the Erasmus + Project “Blended Learning and Evaluation Practices for Inclusive Digital Higher Education – BENEFIT”, at the invitation of the Project Coordinator, the Faculty of Economics - Skopje, UKIM. At the event we were presented with the work of the project, namely a digital repository with 150 tools for professors and students with disabilities, to aid them in their higher education.
This Hackathon, aims to expand the repository and make it globally available, in multiple languages and for many more countries. To do so, we invite all interested participants to join us for a 2-hour Global Accessibility Hackathon.
If you are at all interested in technology and accessibility, or have personal knowledge of these types of tools and application, we invite you to join us. We want to expand the repository with as many aides as possible for all kinds of learning disabilities, be they visual, auditory, physical or cognitive. Your job will be sourcing and adding these tools to the repository which will remain accessible to all the participants.
To ensure an atmosphere of encouragement and camaraderie, we will join a global Zoom call with American Centers from all over the globe for the duration of the event.
Date: 18.10.2024 (Friday)
