Since digital skills are becoming increasingly popular, FERS (2023) aims to stimulate the digital citizenship of the Frisian population by supporting all Frisian libraries in the field of digital citizenship and media literacy.

Appendix 2 Funding

This project was funded by a joint call, “Getting a Grip on Disinformation,” in 2021 and 2022, by the Dutch Domain Registration Fonds (SIDN) and the Limelight Foundation. By supporting disinformation initiatives, SIDN Fund (2023) wants to contribute to a better understanding of disinformation in the Dutch context, what its impact is and how we can better equip our society to deal with it. In doing so, SIDN Fund focuses on tools that provide a grip on disinformation (or help citizens to become more resilient), and research into the mechanisms behind disinformation and awareness projects.

You will encounter all content (including footnotes, captions, etc.) in a clear, sequential flow, making it easier to follow with assistive tools like screen readers.
Short alternative textual descriptions
You get concise descriptions (for images, charts, or media clips), ensuring you do not miss crucial information when visual or audio elements are not accessible.
Full alternative textual descriptions
You get more than just short alt text: you have comprehensive text equivalents, transcripts, captions, or audio descriptions for substantial non‐text content, which is especially helpful for complex visuals or multimedia.
Visualised data also available as non-graphical data
You can access graphs or charts in a text or tabular format, so you are not excluded if you cannot process visual displays.

You will still understand key ideas or prompts without relying solely on colour, which is especially helpful if you have colour vision deficiencies.
Use of high contrast between text and background colour
You benefit from high‐contrast text, which improves legibility if you have low vision or if you are reading in less‐than‐ideal lighting conditions.
