Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD)<\/a><\/u> is an event that is celebrated every year around the world and aims to raise awareness about the importance of digital accessibility in an increasingly diverse and inclusive society, leaving no one behind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the fifth year that TransMedia Catalonia participates in this international initiative. In GAAD\u00a02019<\/a><\/u>, TransMedia Catalonia opened the doors of its laboratory to the\u00a0public to demonstrate the different accessibility services and modalities in which the group works. In GAAD\u00a02020,<\/a><\/u> the research group contributed online in the form of\u00a0a playlist of accessible videos explaining the group’s various projects with integrated audio description and captions. In GAAD\u00a02021<\/a><\/u>, we offered an immersive accessibility showcase and launched the stable version of the MAP platform<\/u><\/a>. In GAAD 2022<\/a>, we offered three activities: we opened our lab, we launched new accessibility courses, and welcome more than 60 children to the university for an accessibility-related activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2023, TransMedia Catalonia celebrates GAAD 2023 with different activities that will be posted here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
