4. What does accessibility at TAMK mean for you – ask and comment
This week is an accessibility theme week at TAMK – welcome to join! How does accessibility show to you? Or does it? What should we do to develop accessibility at TAMK? The accessibility actors in our Universities community together with the Teaching and Learning Centre (TLC) have prepared a pallet of possibilities to ask, hear and discuss various aspects to accessibility. The draft of TAMK’s accessibility plan is open and available for comments.
Welcome to meet us at our stand in the main campus’ lobby, by Parvi at the Service street (B1) or give your comments through Padlet: https://padlet.com/piia_tienhaara/mnz3afjg5bg7hndr
