The document discusses the concept of inclusion and accessibility for people with disabilities. It argues that society often defines ability and disability based on a narrow view that excludes those who are different. True inclusion means creating a world where everyone can participate and belong, regardless of their abilities or disabilities. It calls for improving accessibility both online and offline so that people with disabilities can lead dignified, self-determined lives and contribute their unique perspectives without facing discrimination or barriers.

Demand for digital skills is growing across occupations according to analysis of online job advertisements.
The document describes GRADIOR SENSORY STIMULATION - VR, a virtual reality system for cognitive intervention in older adults. The system uses VR headsets, haptic gloves, and motion tracking to create multi-sensory virtual environments. It was co-developed with older adults and experts to provide relaxing, activating, and emotional experiences. Studies found it improved mood, reduced anxiety and behavioral issues, and increased concentration and well-being for those with mild cognitive impairment or in palliative care. Virtual reality was found to be a successful complementary approach to cognitive intervention when developed through co-creation.
