Communication<\/span><\/h1>\n

You have decided upon the topic of your event, the speakers and the location. Now it is time to turn your attention to the communication at the event. In order to facilitate the communication with your guests it is a good idea to have an information desk at the entrance where guests can get assistance if they need help finding their way. A few things should be organized beforehand. For instance, the rooms at the location can be equipped technically<\/a> to ease the communication. Make your staff<\/a> aware of the necessity to interact on equal footing with the participants. During the event you will need translators<\/a>. Optimally, livestreaming the event makes it possible to communicate online. <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

Technical equipment<\/span><\/h2>\n

People who are hard of hearing need special technology to be able to follow the speeches (FM system and microphones). This must be acquired and installed on time. An audio induction loop system is part of such technology. The induction loop makes it possible to relay audio signals to hearing aids. A livestream is useful for everybody who cannot attend the event and is a good alternative to the event for people who are very shy. <\/span>In addition, a graphic recording makes for an attractive visualisation of the discussion possible. This makes it possible to be informed about the content of workshops that take place at the same time. Pens and paper placed in the hallways are good for exchanging information and contact details and also make communication with deaf participants easier.<\/span> <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

Interpreter
\n<\/span><\/h2>\n

Speeches need to be interpreted for people who are deaf and for those who have a learning disability. Depending on the need (see invitation<\/a>) interpreters should be booked early on. The interpreter must be highly visible at all times during speeches and discussions.

Sign language interpreters in Germany:<\/span><\/h3>\n

Various professional associations can refer sign language interpreters for your event such as the Bundesverband der Geb\u00e4rdensprachdolmetscherInnen Deutschlands<\/b><\/a> or Norddeutschland<\/b><\/a>. In addition there are also associations in the individual states as well as independent interpreters such as Laura M. Schwengber<\/b><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Plain language<\/span><\/h3>\n

People with an intellectual disability such as Down Syndrome and people who do not understand the event\u2019s language very well (e.g. newcomers) need plain language to be used. There are services that interpret into plain language, for example Anne Leichtfu\u00df<\/a><\/strong> (for German).<\/span><\/p>\n

Audiodescription<\/span><\/h3>\n

Interpreters for audio description describe pictures and videos and what is happening on stage for visually impaired and blind persons.

Training the staff and speakers
\n<\/span><\/h2>\n

There are many ways to prepare the participants of your event for communication barriers that may arise. For instance, the staff can be made aware of appropriate ways to interact with people with very diverse characteristics, and speakers should know how best to interact with blind and deaf audience members. Interpreters should be booked early enough.

Staff<\/h3>\n

There are various organizations that offer trainings on how to overcome reservations and how to avoid blunders when interacting with people with different abilities. One suggestion is to speak directly to the guest or speaker with a disability and not just to their assistant. Guide and assistance dogs are there to assist their owners and should not be interrupted in their work. For instance, when giving the dog water just put down the bowl without petting him or her. The owner should be able to take the dog for a walk during longer events. It is helpful therefore to show the owner a suitable area, such as a park, nearby. <\/i>

Speakers<\/h3>\n

Inform the speakers about useful communication guidelines: They should send their speeches several days in advance so that the sign language interpreters can prepare themselves. It is also advisable to speak in readily understood language and to use videos with subtitles. Pictures that are used in presentations should be described for blind members of the audience. It is also a good idea to issue trigger warnings, for instance when videos with potentially distressing contents are shown. <\/span><\/p>\n

A little tip on the side:<\/span><\/h4>\n

No one likes to admit publically that they did not understand something. Foreign words, technical terms and specialized terminology are not understandable for everyone. For instance, if you have speakers who only speak English, offer to translate their input into German.<\/span><\/p>\n

For questions from the audience:<\/span><\/h4>\n

It is possible to communicate using hand gestures, especially in smaller workshops. Examples of signs that can be used are \u201cquacking duck\u201d which means \u201cplease explain the word\u201d and \u201ca raised arm\u201d, meaning \u201cplease speak louder\u201d. Also, the sign for applause can be used universally. However, if there are blind participants this method is not inclusive of them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Invitation
\n<\/span><\/h2>\n

The content and design of the invitation determine if your guests\u2019 interest in your event is sparked or not. In addition to an attractive design and information about the program and location the needs of your guests must also be considered. It is helpful for the overall planning to ask your guests to make their needs known when they register. It is also useful to offer different methods of contact because some people can communicate better over the telephone than via email (blind persons for example) and others prefer email (for instance deaf persons). <\/span><\/p>\n

It is helpful to include directions on how to get to the event location by car or public transportation with the invitation. Information regarding accessibility and assistive technology at the location should be available on the website.<\/span> <\/i><\/p>\n

A little tip on the side:<\/span><\/h4>\n

An expensive entrance fee can hinder many people with a limited income from attending (for example the unemployed and single parents or students). Solutions can be less expensive \u201cearly bird\u201d tickets, Diversity Tickets<\/a><\/strong><\/span>, <\/b>entrance fees that are determined based on income etc.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Flyers, brochures and posters<\/h3>\n

Writing on transparent or reflecting paper is hard to read, the weight of the paper<\/strong> should be at least 100 g\/qm. Folded brochures should use a simple fold if possible. The flyer can be made in different versions, for example in Braille, in large print and in plain language.<\/span><\/p>\n

Showing what you\u2019ve got: if the event will be interpreted into sign language, then show this on the flyers and posters with a <\/span>pictogram of signing hands<\/strong><\/span>. Don\u2019t just say that the event is \u201caccessible\u201d, but describe the accessible aspects of the event precisely.<\/span><\/p>\n

Website \u2013 accessibility online<\/span><\/h2>\n

Accessibility is not only important offline but online also. Your website is the first point of contact for many potential visitors to your event. Accessibility in the internet refers to the content and the technical capabilities of a site. Font, color, HTML, pictures, videos, podcasts and PDFs are all components that play a role in the accessibility of your website.<\/span><\/p>\n

Being aware of barriers<\/h3>\n

There are four principles that provide the foundation for web accessibility. The users of your website must must be provided with contents that is: perceivable, operable, understandable and robust.<\/p>\n
