Dear All,
Centre for Internet and Society (CIS) has been a forerunner in
advocating for a national policy for electronic and web accessibility
for persons with disabilities. In addition to seeking a policy reform in
this matter, we are also bolstering our advocacy efforts by organising
trainings and workshops at no cost for web developers across the country
to spread awareness and build capacity in this area in both the public
as well as the private sectors. Our first workshop, which was organised
jointly with UN Solution Exchange and supported by the NIXI, took place
in Ghaziabad earlier this year.
We are organising our second workshop on web accessibility for
developers at Bangalore from June 5th-7th, 2009. The workshop will take
place at the CIS office on Cunningham Road. Registration is free of
charge. If you or any of your colleagues are involved in developing
websites and are interested in making your websites accessible to all
groups in society, including persons with disabilities (approximately 71
million Indians and 6% of the total world population), please register
for this workshop at the earliest.
The trainers are experts in this field from Delhi and Bangalore and have
been working in the field of accessibility for many years.
For more information and registration, please mail Nirmita Narasimhan:

Regards,
Pranesh
