A Jodi Award for M Shed!
M Shed has recently received a Jodi Mattes Trust Award for
Digital Access onsite. Our PenFriend Audio Access project was
announced as the winner at a recent presentation held at Swansea's
National Waterfront Museum.
The awards relate to the use of existing technology to
widen access to information and collections for disabled people
more effectively and creatively. They were first given in the UK in
2003, European Year of Disabled People, and celebrate practice that
inspires locally, nationally or internationally.
Our PenFriends are audio devices that allow visitors to M Shed
to listen to stories in the galleries. This is a free service
provided to visually impaired visitors and to those who have
difficulty reading print.
