Invitation to the online launch of the EBU Handbook for high quality audio description on screen, taking place on May 17 at 13:30 CET on Zoom.
In the 2 hour event, our panel of experts will present and discuss the EBU Handbook for High Quality Audio Description on Screen. This publication sets out to analyse what constitutes good description, based on more than three decades of practical experience from both a describer´s perspective and that of blind and partially sighted audiences.
EBU promotes the rights and interests of more than 30 million people with sight loss in Europe, including the right to access information and the right to participate in cultural life, as set out in the UNCRPD. With the Handbook, EBU wishes to ensure the same high quality of description across Europe for millions of blind, partially sighted and other users to benefit from and enjoy.
For whom
This new AD Handbook has been compiled for beginning as well as more experienced describers, editors, those wishing to set up or contract an AD service, film makers, script writers and universities or training institutes that offer AD education, as well as anyone interested in learning more about on-screen audio description.
Accessible event
EBU is committed to provide an inclusive experience for all. Description is offered by the speakers and automatic captions are activated during the session.
