			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.behindertenparkplatz.de/cl/2007/10/12/847/">[Zur deutschen Version]</a><br />
<span lang="en">I&#8217;m thinking about attending the <a href="http://barcampberlin2.mixxt.de/">Barcamp in Berlin</a>. I could stop thinking about it if I were to find out that the venue is not accessible. But that would be contrary to the Barcamp concept&#8230;</span></p>
<p><span lang="en">For this reason I have written down some important issues to make Barcamps<br />
more accessible for disabled visitors. Maybe the list is not complete but it could be helpful for non-Barcamp-events too:<br />
</span></p>
<p><span lang="en">1. Only an <strong>accessible venue</strong> is a good venue.<br />
</span><br />
<span lang="en">2. Every room must have <strong>step-free access</strong>. Multi-storey buildings must have a lift. And the lift must also have step-free access.<br />
</span><br />
<span lang="en">3. There must be at least one <strong>accessible toilet</strong>. Accessible toilets are toilets where a wheelchair fits in without any problems. It&#8217;s not enough to have a toilet with step-free access.<br />
</span><br />
<span lang="en">4. <strong>Be transparent </strong>regarding accessibility. If you answer most of the accessibility questions during the application process, people with disabilities don&#8217;t have to search for answers and feel welcome to the event.<br />
</span><br />
<span lang="en">5. <strong>Name someone who is responsible for the event&#8217;s accessibility</strong> (preferably someone with experience). Publish the name and email address of the responsible person on the website.</span></p>
<p><span lang="en">6. <strong>Make the Barcamp website and the application process accessible.<br />
</strong>Make sure that people with disabilities can participate and apply. It should be clear who to contact if any problems occur during the application process.<br />
</span><br />
<span lang="en">7. <strong>Provide travel information for people with disabilities.</strong> Where is the next accessible station? Do the buses have ramps?<br />
</span><br />
<span lang="en">8. Some venues have <strong>induction loop systems for people who use a hearing aid</strong>. Provide information about the system on the website.<br />
</span><br />
<span lang="en">9. Deaf people can only benefit from the event if there is a <strong>sign language interpreter</strong>. Maybe you can find a sponsor who is able to cover the costs if deaf participants apply. But ask the deaf participants beforehand if and when they need an interpreter!</span></p>
<p><span lang="en">10. <strong>Assistants of disabled participants aren&#8217;t participants</strong> and don&#8217;t have to apply. Disabled participants who need an assistant can bring a second person with them. That&#8217;s also to be published on the website.</span></p>

<p><span lang="en">Update: The Barcamp in Berlin is accessible for me. But I&#8217;ve written the list to support Barcamp organisers in the future.</span>
