The training module aims to make young persons with disabilities to understand their rights and the possibilities connected to the Web Accessibility Directive. By using the feedback mechanism of the directive in a constructive way, the legislation can be used as a tool both for empowerment of the target groups and for individuals to contribute to making public sector websites more accessible for everyone.
