The methodology will outline the service learning and community mapping methodology to be applied in the project. It will include the innovative pedagogical approach combining service-learning, overview and application of community mapping practices with a focus on exploratory and urban walks as community mapping methods, outline the gaps in current accessibility mapping tools, needs and requirements as regards both physical and digital accessibility and provide a facilitation guide on how to apply the methodology.

Based on project partner’s experience in web and app accessibility an open access guide on web accessibility will be designed. Theoretical knowledge and practical tools will be provided to designers and developers in and outside academic institutions enabling them to create a more accessible digital environment on campus. A short visually attractive graphical reference guide will be included as part of the guide and available as a separate download.

Based on the app +Acesso para Todos, an accessibility mapping website and app will be adapted, co-designed and co-developed through service-learning student activities. The mapping tools, embedding Universal Design Principles, will aim to provide accessibility information at the city level in 4 cities across Europe – Catania, Berlin, Blagoevgrad.
