Imagine you're new to the wannseeFORUM and you immediately know,
where you are, where you need to go, and what awaits you.
Not because someone explains it to you, but because the information is simply there: as an audio guide, as a QR code on the wall, as a short text on your mobile phone.
A diverse range of voices can be heard as audio files at six locations within our organization since July. These recordings are the result of an in-house workshop entitled "Making Information Understandable for Everyone." Staff members from various departments and members of the youth advisory board produced the texts and audio files for this project.
More "listening to spaces" stations are planned.
Currently, the English version is still narrated by an AI voice. This is a practical tool that will be replaced by a variety of human voices in the future.
We are also planning another project for blind and visually impaired people, which is tailored to their orientation needs.
The workshop took place as part of the AdB project „SPREAD – Awareness-raising, civic education, reflection, empowerment, ableism deconstruction.“ instead of.
They also emerged OER materials,
which enable the continuation of the process.
Other stakeholders can also use it to create audio files with simple means. This best-practice example can encourage the anchoring of inclusion as an attitude within the team and the organization.
In this sense, the workshop is a step on our path to becoming an inclusive learning environment for everyone.
