Recent social movements such as Black Lives Matter and climate campaign activism have shown the powerful positive impact on the world when young people find their voice and a sense of purpose. However, many young people in the UK (and around the world) are disempowered by the systems and structures that are intended to support them. Young people’s mental wellbeing is a serious and growing concern in UK schools with one in six children aged 5-16 years now identified as having a probable mental disorder.

If you add content to your websites, chances are you’re also responsible for managing social media for your department or unit. Social media platforms like YouTube/Vimeo, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Pinterest can present unique challenges for users with disabilities, many of which are beyond your control.

Red Bergeron and Andrew Gilkes members of Yale’s Climate, Culture, and Inclusion team invite you to a conversation about Inclusive Practices.
This will be a 90-minute session that will cover the what, why, and how of Inclusive Practices, speak about 5 specific Inclusionary Practices to build a foundation on the topic, and offer breakout rooms to discuss this topic in small groups before having a larger group discussion.
Resources for further learning will be provided at the end of the session.

The topic for this session is Accessible Forms. Doesn’t everyone love a form that’s easy to fill out? Most people will avoid filling out a form that has too many barriers. Making your form accessible is important for so many reasons! We will discuss best practices, how to properly label form controls, and what to do about errors (more importantly, how to avoid errors!).

Hosted by the Connecticut Chapter of the Black Caucus American Library Association, join us for a conversation about Dr. King’s legacy and the role of Black librarians in fighting social injustice.
