<p class="MsoNormal">The ISOC Accessibility Standing Group is delighted to announce that the<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal">first ISOC Disability Leadership Training in Internet Governance and<br>
Digital Rights course will be open from 11th November, 2024 and run for<br>
three weeks. This has been made possible with the support of the<br>
Internet Society Foundation.<br>
<br>
The course provides information to equip disability advocates, Internet<br>
Governance (IG) practitioners, and trainers with the tools needed to<br>
promote digital inclusion for persons with disabilities.<br>
<br>
The objectives of this course are to:<br>
<br>
- Provide a thorough understanding of Internet governance policies,<br>
organisations and real-life opportunities for participation<br>
- Serve as a resource to integrate accessibility and disability into<br>
the broader Internet governance debate<br>
<br>
<br>
The course is self-paced but will be facilitated by tutor calls at least<br>
once per week. The first tutor call will be on 14th November so persons<br>
need to have completed module 0 and 1 before the 14th.<br>
<br>
To enrol, persons should first make sure they are a member of the<br>
Internet Society at: <a href="https://www.internetsociety.org/become-a-member/" target="_blank">https://www.internetsociety.org/become-a-member/</a><br>
and then follow the link <a href="https://bit.ly/DLIGDR" target="_blank">https://bit.ly/DLIGDR</a> to the course.<br>
<br>
The course is offered in a high and low bandwidth version that is the<br>
standard practice for the Internet Society. The high bandwidth version<br>
of this course has international sign interpretation of the video and<br>
full transcripts. The low bandwidth version may at this stage better<br>
suit screen reader users.<br>
<br>
Please note that this is a pilot course. F<span class="xgmaildefault">eedback is welcomed</span> on how to<br>
improve the interface. <br clear="all">
