Our Commitment
We believe digital inclusion is fundamental to our mission of empowering young people across Europe and beyond. We continuously work to improve the accessibility and usability of this website for all visitors, regardless of ability or the technology they use.
Accessibility Features
This website includes the following accessibility features:
Keyboard navigation — All interactive elements (links, buttons, forms) are accessible via keyboard without requiring a mouse.
Screen reader compatibility — Pages are structured with semantic HTML and ARIA attributes to support screen readers such as NVDA, JAWS, and VoiceOver.
Alternative text — Images include descriptive alt text to convey visual content to users who cannot see them.
Color contrast — Text and interactive elements meet or exceed minimum contrast ratios as defined by WCAG 2.1.
Responsive design — The website adapts to all screen sizes including mobile phones and tablets, and supports browser zoom up to 200% without loss of content or functionality.
Readable fonts — Text is styled for legibility with sufficient size and line spacing.
Multilingual support — The website is available in English, Spanish, Ukrainian, Greek, Turkish, and Finnish to serve our diverse audience.
Form labels — All form fields are clearly labelled to assist users of assistive technologies.
Logical page structure — Pages use heading levels (H1–H6) to create a clear, navigable content hierarchy.
Known Limitations
We strive for full compliance; however, some areas may have limitations:
Content entered through our content management system may not always meet full accessibility standards. We are working with our content team to address this.
Third-party embedded content (such as videos or external links) may not fully comply with accessibility requirements, as these are outside our direct control.
We are actively working to address these issues and welcome feedback to help us prioritise improvements.
