Digital tools and technologies seem to make life a lot easier. But for many people, this is not true. For example, those with physical or mental disabilities or language difficulties may experience high barriers when using digital technology. Waag Futurelab advocates for a digital world that is accessible to all. After all, everyone has the right to participate in society and everyone deserves a fair chance at the labor market.
During the Week of Participation (October 6-9, 2025), Waag, together with De Omslag, is organizing a program for professionals working at social enterprises and/or daycare providers.
