    Easy to read

    IAAP Nordic webinar 23 April 2024

    Recording of the webinar with Heidi Brunæs Eklund, Dr. Leealaura Leskelä and Liisa Keshmiri

    Easy to read, easy language, understandable content… Professionals still have not agreed on the terminology for one of the most important elements in communication. In the current EU digital accessibility legislation and standards, the topic is mentioned, but not at all in focus. How do Finland, Norway and Sweden handle the fact that many people have difficulties understanding information? How can digital solutions improve the situation? What can we learn from each other?

    In this panel discussion, we get inspiration from experts in the field, with experience from both academic research and practical work with users. As usual, the audience is welcome to ask questions!

    Panellists:

    • Heidi Brunæs Eklund is a linguist and text scientist, responsible for plain language in the Norwegian company Arkitekst.
    • Dr. Leealaura Leskelä is Development Manager in the Finnish Centre for Easy Language in the Finnish Association on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities.
    • Liisa Keshmiri is Chair of the International Society for Alternative and Augmentative Communication (ISAAC) Sweden, and works as a Support Supervisor in the social enterprise company Frösunda Omsorg.

    The panel discussion is moderated by Susanna Laurin, Managing Director of IAAP Nordic.
