Access Services Experts Meeting: Online Session

ISL (Irish Sign Language) Interpretation for RTÉ Home School Hub with Sinéad Burke.RTÉ

The last months have been a tumultuous time for public service broadcasters, and for some of them the crisis has implied some drastic changes in the way they operate. But what about the production and delivery of Access Services? What is the operational and strategic impact on media accessibility activities? Can we even now predict what will remain after the crisis and whether that will point the way to a 'new normal'?

This webinar will address the production adaptability of Access Services in this crisis period.

Along the spectrum of cases presented by EBU experts, we will start the day by grasping the main challenges and responses from Members. We will deep dive into how experts are facing and adapting to this unprecedented situation from a production but also organizational point of view.

In the afternoon, we will look at the situation from another perspective, focusing on new content offers and some of the great initiatives that Members have set up during that period.

Here are some of the colleagues we'll be hearing from:

This year’s plenary meeting that was due to take place in Oslo on 11 November has been cancelled and is now being replaced by an online session on the exact same date.
