Digital skills training programs have the power to transform lives, but for many people with disabilities (PWDs), accessibility barriers still limit full participation.

This session explores how WordPress, as an open-source platform, can be a catalyst for digital inclusion by enabling accessible learning environments and empowering underrepresented groups.

Through a case study of a community-driven initiative that trained PWDs in digital skills using WordPress, the talk will highlight practical strategies for overcoming accessibility challenges, building sustainable community support, and scaling impact.
