Jordan and iSystem Launch Digital Skills Workshop for Persons with Disabilities
Orange
Jordan, in collaboration
with iSystem, held an interactive workshop at the Orange Digital Center for
Innovation to mark Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD). The event brought
together 30 participants who were persons with disabilities, reinforcing the
company’s commitment to digital inclusion under the "Differently Abled,
Definitely Enabled” initiative.
Certified
experts led hands-on training for participants with disabilities to empower
them to use smartphones efficiently through specialized sessions. The training
covered current and upcoming accessibility features, instructions on
configuring devices to suit individual needs, and detailed explanations of the
VoiceOver feature along with other assistive tools. Additionally, participants
received practical tips to enhance their iPhone usage, heard an inspiring
personal testimonial on content creation, and explored various entertainment
and accessibility apps designed to simplify their digital lives.
Orange
Jordan emphasized that organizing this workshop builds on its previous efforts
in the field, including a similar event held in 2018. This reflects the
company’s ongoing commitment to promoting equal opportunities, empowering all
segments of society, and fostering digital inclusion. These efforts align with
Orange Jordan’s Sustainable Development Goals, as the company continues to
develop programs and initiatives aimed at digital inclusion for persons with
disabilities, ensuring their full participation through innovative tools and
applications tailored to their needs.
It
is worth noting that the workshop also showcased Orange Jordan’s digital
inclusion services designed to support and effectively integrate persons with
disabilities. These services include the SignBook application for sign language
and the Digital Inclusion Catalogue for persons with disabilities.
Additionally, the event highlighted the 7th Circle Mall, winner of the 2023
Gold Category in the "Accessible Buildings Award,” recognized for its
comprehensive accessibility features. This award was launched by the Higher
Council for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities in 2022 to promote
inclusive environments for all persons with disabilities.
