DIGITAL INCLUSION CAN OVERCOME BARRIERS FOR IN-
CLUSION IN THE SOCIETY
Open the Windows (OtW) for its sixth edition of GOW
promoted the campaign through partner organisations
and schools and ran several activities for promoting the
benefits of digital inclusion for persons with disabilities:
  More than 30 students from the State University
of Tetovo started their practical training in OtW.
The students learned about benefits of assistive
technologies for different types of disabilities and
how to use technologies in their work with children
with disabilities with the focus on preparing digital
contents according to the student’s needs.
  OtW professionals together with 10 young
persons with disabilities visited the Certiadria, an
international education and certification company.
Young people were introduced to the certification
process and got 20% discount to certify their digital
skills.
  15 representatives from one municipality of Skopje
visited OtW to learn about the organisation’s
activities, the assistive technology and
person-centered approach with the beneficiaries.
  The representatives had the opportunity to fill the
GOW survey using assistive technology devices for
the first time.
