Join us for an insightful event with Rada Pandeva, the founder of Thalassophile Project, as she discusses making marine science universally accessible, particularly for d/Deaf and visually impaired individuals, and explore practical steps to enhance the accessibility of your data. Come and 'sea' how you can contribute to a more inclusive exchange of information! 🐚
Did you know that within the European Union, approximately 51 million people are hard of hearing? That's about 9% of the EU population, or roughly 1 in 10 individuals. Additionally, there are 30 million people who are blind or partially sighted. Ever wondered how d/Deaf and visually impaired individuals access resources and information about the Ocean? 🌊
