AKKU & Lauder Javne Jewish Community School, Kindergarten and Music School

This Learning Lab raises awareness for the need and importance of audio description (AD) in different types of media. AD is a form of narration used to provide information surrounding key visual elements in media works such as films, television programs, or theatrical performances for the benefit of blind and visually impaired consumers. These narrations are typically placed during natural pauses in the audio, and sometimes during dialogue if deemed necessary. Students participating in this lab learn about the basic rights and needs of the blind and visually impaired community. They discuss accessibility in general and cultural accessibility in particular and how AD can contribute to improvement.

As an outcome of this Learning Lab students create and showcase short AD’s for films and/or cartoons that will be available for the blind and visually impaired viewers online. The thematic focus is on their school and Jewish heritage.
