Tips for a great event

Duk Op seeks to promote events that actively work to remove participation barriers based on background, gender, age, and mental or physical health.

Physical accessibility

Are there ramps, elevators, wide doors, and accessible toilets?
Information on access to public transportation, carpooling organization, and available parking.

Toilets: Where is the nearest toilet?
Seating options: Are there flexible options, such as wide chairs or chairs without armrests?
Break areas: Are there quiet areas with low noise and light?
Service animals: Are service animals welcome, and are there any facilities for them?
Food and drinks: Is the food vegan, and can food allergies be accommodated?
Children: Is the event child-friendly, and if so, why or why not?

Language: Translate your event into English (e.g., indicate [English below] in the description).
Use text to describe important information about the event, rather than relying solely on images. This allows people who are visually impaired or dyslexic to have the information read aloud.
Indicate if there will be interpreters or sign language interpreters present.
Sound amplification: Are speakers being used?
Contact and safety person: Information about the presence of a contact and safety person who can help with practical matters and increase safety during the event.

Including this information makes it easier for more people to participate and feel welcome!
