Context

As part of the Digital Accessibility and Universal Design Assessment Tool for Youth Centers in Ukraine, community volunteers will co-develop a digital self-assessment tool to evaluate accessibility in youth spaces. To ensure that the tool interface is inclusive, user-friendly, and aligned with universal design principles, the Trainer on Inclusive Digital Interface Design will guide volunteers in creating layouts, color schemes, and navigation flows that are accessible to diverse users. This trainer will focus on integrating inclusivity into every visual and interactive element — ensuring readability, simplicity, and accessibility across devices and assistive technologies. The trainer’s support will help make the final tool genuinely inclusive and practical for all users, regardless of ability or background.

Task Description

Under the supervision of the Tech4R coordination team, the Trainer will: Conduct a short workshop on inclusive digital design principles for form-based and low-code tools. Demonstrate techniques for accessible layout creation, including visual hierarchy, color contrast, and font selection. Advise volunteers on structuring the user journey for clear navigation and minimal cognitive load. Introduce methods for integrating accessibility features, such as alternative text, captions, and consistent tab order.
