There are no limits to what we can do … Transparency, responsibility, accessibility and inclusion are concepts that are integrated in learning tools, in products and services designed to be used in any connection by individuals of all abilities.
Accessibility Day, which will be held tomorrow in Milan, is promoted by Microsoft with C2 Group and Italian Dyslexia Association (AID).
The Fondazione Mondo Digitale will participate with Programme Ambizione Italy for Schools addressing special needs, because, as the recent ISTAT Report pointed outs IT as a facilitator is not used enough in schools [see ISTAT: L’inclusione scolastica: accessibilità, qualità dell’offerta e caratteristiche degli alunni con sostegno, 2019, in Italian].
