03:52- How do you define accessibility and inclusion in today’s context?
- Technology has made a lot of things more accessible, for example, software that can read your text aloud.
- This has its downsides as well. Companies are cutting back on employees because of technology.

- Technology can help. But there is still a long way to go.
11:35- What are the major challenges that still need to be addressed when it comes to accessibility?
- Venues are not accessible enough.
- I think public transport should be the first thing that governments need to make 100% accessible for everyone.
18:57- What is your vision for the future of accessibility?
- I hope that in the future people with disabilities can do anything in society.
- The first step to accomplish this is to make everyone aware that different people with different disabilities need different things.
- That’s the start of the future.
