Digital accessibility / Moldova
In 2016, YOPESO helped develop accessibility.md with the UN Human Rights Office in Moldova, bringing practical accessibility guidance to a wider audience.
Location: Moldova
Launched: 28 April 2016
CoderDojo Chișinău students built the portal with volunteer YOPESO mentors and input from disability organisations. It combined accessible design with guidance on making digital services and physical spaces easier to use. The original portal is now offline; this page records the work carried out in 2016.
A practical collaboration between technology, education and accessibility.
