What is the Digital Accessible Experience Square?
The Experience Square creates awareness throughout your organisation. Through 5 experiences, we mimic disabilities on the internet. As a result, you, and your colleagues learn what it is like to use different digital resources with a disability.
Experiencing and learning
We want you to reflect on the fact that not everyone uses the internet with ease. In addition, you will learn the principles of digital accessibility in an approachable way.

What were previous experiences?
"At a.s.r., we combined Cardan's Experience Square with a lecture on the subject of Digital Accessibility and a stakeholder dialogue. We had set up the Experience Square in a nice open location in our office building, so that both colleagues and external visitors could have a look at it.
The set-up of the Ervaringsplein is low-threshold, friendly and it stimulates curiosity and enthusiasm among visitors to get started with this topic. I have experienced Cardan as a party of integrity that is very thoughtful about how we can draw attention to Digital Accessibility within a.s.r. and improve digital communication towards our customers."
Jennifer Bakx
Frontend Developer & Member working group Digital Accessibility“Bij de Belastingdienst is er steeds meer aandacht voor digitale toegankelijkheid. Wij zetten ons dagelijks in om de websites, zowel in- als extern, en de apps digitaal toegankelijk te maken.
Het Ervaringsplein van Cardan Technobility helpt enorm om de bewustwording binnen onze organisatie te vergroten. Door middel van ervaringsspellen (o.a. 3d-brillen, lego bouwen) en laagdrempelige gesprekken wordt, mede hierdoor, de bewustwording binnen onze organisatie steeds groter.”Ingrid van Houttum
Team Communicatie & Vakgroepcreator Communicatie ‘Duidelijke Taal"The Experience Square is a really fun way to make colleagues aware of why digital accessibility is so important. Very approachable, you are taken through the barriers that people with disabilities face in our online world. We are another experience richer."
Mieke Bos, Digital Accessibility project manager
"We organised the Experience Square during Accessibility Week. Cardan showed in game form, in a very low-threshold way, what you can encounter with a disability when using websites and apps. This was and educational experience for colleagues and peers from the region!"
Anja van Aert, digital accessibility coordinator
"Cardan's experience plaza is a real eye-opener for organisations. Digital accessibility is about accessibility for everyone, not just a limited group. By placing the experience square in a central location within the organisation, everyone, both 'high' and 'low' in the organisation, comes into contact with digital accessibility.
The approachability ensures that everyone gets 'something' out of it. In terms of content, the staff are strong. Each in his/her own expertise. Many conversations get personal and go into depth. Specific questions can be answered well. In short: for organisations that want to raise awareness of digital accessibility, this is definitely recommended!"
Michiel Haagen, Digital Accessibility Advisor
"The Experience Square by enthusiastic Cardan advisers is highly recommended. It was approachable and inviting. Experiencing it yourself brings more understanding. We also had a 'colleague table' set up on the square. Here, colleagues showed how they work with aids such as a Braille display. Or how they apply the requirements around digital accessibility in their work. All in all, a good booster for awareness in the organisation."
Gemma Bakker, project manager Digital Accessibility, province of Fryslân
Yvonne van der Woude, programme manager Iepen Finster
Mattijs Tiggeler, communications consultant"Thanks to Ervaringsplein, I realised that digital accessibility affects many more people than I thought. Thanks to doing and thinking tests, a world quickly opened up for me. The Experience Square was a smooth, instructive and, above all, fun experience!"
Ties Rozema, Implementation Officer
"In a low-threshold way, the Experience Square allowed me to experience myself how different disabilities affect how well/badly you can use a website. It really shows what an impact a good accessible website has!"
Dorine Hofmeester, Test Engineer
"The different parts of the Experience Square were real 'eye-openers'. It was nice to see that great conversations arose because of the recognition of things. Highly recommended to any organisation."
