Teilhabe ist ein weites Feld. Hörgeräte werden über Apps gesteuert. Was ist aber mit den Menschen, die kein Smartphone besitzen? Für die bleibt es still. Darüber und über andere Aspekte von digitaler Teilhabe haben wir beim #d64footprint in Mainz gesprochen. Danke an @LinHead für die fantastische Orga vor Ort. #D64 #footprint #digitaleteilhabe
