Challenge (ISdAC) from European Telework Development.
At the beginnings of the Information Society it is now time to make it
accessible to all European citizens, the same way as new buildings provide ways
to overcome barriers in their design stage. ISdAC is a challenge put together by
people with disabilities (PwD) who believe that full participation by PwD can
and should be driven by PwD, with support from society through the European
Union and the Governments of the Member States and from their non-disabled
friends. "We are challenging Europe and its nations to make the Information
Society fully accessible to people with disabilities (PwD), and challenging
people with disabilities to demonstrate their abilities in an Information
Society context by playing an active role in building a fully accessible
Information Society in Europe."
