Summary and a list of current workgroups

Hi Nordic Accessibility Community Group,

This week we met to review the findings of the 4 workgroups who had investigated:

  *   How can we ensure meetups/networking opportunities?
  *   How can we get relevant schools/universities to teach accessibility?
  *   How can we host/share knowledge and resources within our group?
  *   How can we identify relevant research that we want to conduct?

It was wonderful to hear all the different ideas! Then we proceeded to find people who would like to continue the work and discussions for each group. (Only the research group had no volunteers for now.) The final list of volunteers and action items by each team can be found in the Workgroups document (Word format)<https://bit.ly/nordiccggroups>.

There is still room for people passionate about discussing networking, or education, or knowledge-sharing, and we can always use more brains involved. So my urge to you is to reach out to the coordinator of a group that you would like to be invited to. You can also find a channel for each group in our Slack space<https://www.w3.org/slack-w3ccommunity-invite>.

Coordinators for the groups are:

  *   Networking/meetup: Manuel Münchow <manmu@eg.dk<mailto:manmu@eg.dk>>
  *   Education: Tobias Christian Jensen <tcj@siteimprove.com<mailto:tcj@siteimprove.com>>
  *   Knowledge-sharing : Sander Nijsingh <sander@technobility.nl<mailto:sander@technobility.nl>>

I want to stress once again that joining is not a commitment to anything but only means you will receive invitations for the discussions for the next 6 months - or until you opt-out.

Our next big meeting as a Community Group will be in 6 months' time. See you then!

Best regards,
Tobias Christian Jensen
