Today is the International Day for Universal Access to Information, which highlights the importance of everyone having the right to find, receive, and share information that influences their lives.
People who have access to dependable information within a suitable time limit can make informed decisions, understand their rights, and have control over their data.
In a digital world, this means making information easier to access online, while also recognising that barriers still exist for many people, from connectivity and digital skills to accessibility and language barriers.

National Coding Week occurs annually and is a volunteer-led initiative running from the 14th of September through to the 20th.
Its purpose is to help people of all ages learn digital skills, increase computer literacy, and explore programming.
These events can be held in schools, libraries, clubs, and businesses, and are aimed at people that have an interest in computers, coding, robots, and programming. The events are run as a fun and engaging activity to encourage people to participate.
Gaining skills in coding can open opportunities to work as a game developer, website developer, or a software developer; however, coding can also be useful in other industries such as finance, healthcare, education, and media.

Here at the Digital Accessibility Centre, we provide weekly insights designed to enhance your knowledge of Assistive Technology.
This week, the spotlight is on Non-Visual Desktop Access, or NVDA.
#Accessibility#DigitalAccessibility
ALT Fact of The Week
NVDA
ALT Non-Visual Desktop Access, better known as NVDA, is screen reading software used by millions of blind and visually impaired people worldwide.
NVDA was designed and developed by Michael Curran and James Teh, two blind friends, who believed that screen reader software should not cost more than a computer.
The software has been translated into more than 55 languages thanks to volunteers, and is used by people in more than 175 countries.
It is open source software, meaning anyone can access the code to continue providing translations and developmental updates, even though it is currently donationware to use.
Never Give Up day is observed globally on the 18th of August. It was founded in 2019, and is dedicated to the resilience and determination of humanity, pushing through challenges life can throw our way, and finding strength to carry on despite the difficulties faced.
Ziad Khan, one of our Brand Ambassadors as well as a Low Vision analyst, shares his personal experience of sudden sight loss, and his introduction to the technology that changed his life forever. This can be found on our YouTube channel here: lnkd.in/eSGMihPz
