Join Creative PEI for a hands-on workshop to make your arts communications more accessible, and welcoming! Workshop Description The words and images we use, and the way we organize information, can make communications more accessible, inclusive and welcoming. This practical, hands-on workshop introduces activities and simple strategies for creating clearer, more accessible communications for websites, promotional materials, and social media. Participants will learn to:<ul fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;"><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Write in plain language without talking down to audiences</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Organize information for clarity and easy navigation</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Create accessible social media posts</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Write effective image descriptions</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Expand outreach and develop new audiences</li></ul>Participants will leave with practical guides and handouts to use and reference continuously.
