Multi-Sensory Information on Climate Change
MUSICC-142023-LLP-1-2008-1-UK-LEONARDO-LMP

 

Most countries are forced to face the issues of global warming with more seriousness than before. Our children need to be taught about this situation and the likely implications on their future lifestyles. For those who have a sensory impairment access to such information may be denied through lack of adaptive systems and materials. Although teaching material are now beginning to appear, very little work has been done in establishing a methodology of explaining the visual and graphical images needed to cover such a scientific subject in a format accessible to those with a sensory impairment. In developing such materials, adaptation to hearing impairments will fall well within the scope of achievement. This project would like to establish a methodology for explaining the links to global warming and climate change (often graphical) and deliver this vital information in an accessible, adaptable and assimilateable manner
