The Municipality of Rotterdam, the City of Marseille and “TheMayor.EU – the European Portal for Cities and Citizens” are pleased to invite you to the fourth EUDIGIT webinar: Citizens with a Disability: Digital Divide and Opportunities.
The two-day event will explore the challenges that persons with disabilities face in an increasingly digitalised world and what our cities can do to overcome the divide. We live in a time in which technology is a real gamechanger. So, we should seize every opportunity to let fellow citizens with a disability participate in our society.
The event will take place online on 10 and 11 March 2022. It is free and open for anyone to join, with preliminary registration on this link. All registered participants will receive Zoom login link a few days prior to the event.
The first day will feature brief presentations of examples on how stakeholders can bridge the digital gap as experienced by people with disabilities or chronic illnesses. These examples are demonstrated by the cities of Marseille, Cluj-Napoca, Rotterdam, Genoa, Hamburg and Varna.
Consecutive sessions will focus on inclusive communication, where citizens who have a disability or a chronic illness talk about their experiences with local administrations.
The afternoon sessions will focus on inclusive digital education and healthcare tools.
The second day will start with an overview of the European accessibility policies and Legislation. It will then continue with sessions on how to make the workplace, and sport and leisure facilities accessible and inclusive to persons with disabilities and chronic illnesses.
All sessions will adopt a practical and interactive approach, to ensure efficient exchanges of experience and transferability of best practices.

Stichting Ik ben WIJ – Foundation I am WE
‘I am WE’ is the title under which activities take place that lead to a 'WE society', a society in which there is room for everyone.
We live in a society that is highly individualistic and in which people are increasingly drifting apart. People are afraid of the other. Living worlds are separated and people increasingly live alongside each other. Natives and immigrants live alongside each other, and so do the young and the elderly, the rich and the poor.
