WDC Regulars' Gathering
2026-10-21 @ 17:30
WDC Hub – Exchange, networking, and open dialogue are at the heart of the WDC get-together. This time, we’ll take a moment to look back on the WDC year so far: What has been accomplished, which encounters and projects stand out in our memories, and what have we achieved together? At the same time, we’ll look ahead and ask what will endure from the WDC year beyond 2026—which ideas, networks, and collaborations will continue to have an impact.

Books are often designed by and for people without disabilities. We want to change that. All people should be able to understand books well. To do this, we try out new ideas together.
