Inovacess Grenoble 2013 "ACCESSIBILITY Beyond boundaries !"
Tue, 15/10/2013 - Wed, 16/10/2013
On 15 and 16 October 2013, the INOVACCESS Encounters take place in Grenoble, France. Going beyond company, city and institutional competence boundaries. Seeking, understanding, comprehending and living accessibility at every level, and joining each link in order to establish 'the movement chain': this is what INOVACCESS has been doing over the past 3 years, in a true accessibility laboratory to facilitate the employment of the disabled.
The purpose of INOVACCESS Encounters is to relive experiences, to share and disseminate the pioneering spirit of a unique French project, comparing it with other French and European experiences.
Challenges, ambitions, satisfactions, barriers, learnings: over 2 days, witnesses and experts will give an insight into the latest developments in accessibility and more wide-ranging issues focussing on all their dimensions, with the desire to be at the forefront of a major social movement.
- Is company inaccessibility a barrier to the employment of disabled people ?
- Do access improvement works in professional facilities encourage their employment ?
- What solutions are there to integrate the diversity of user ability restrictions ?
- How can we connect the various links in the movement chain ?
Who? Elected officials, technicians for local authorities, employment professionals, and planners are all invited to participate in a two-day event to discuss and debate key questions in the field of accessibility.
