Welcome to The Shining Lamp
This space is about building community.
Imagine a vibrant community where a diverse mosaic of otherwise marginalized members, including people of different Races, Disabilities, Ages, Genders, and Cultures, are warmly embraced and empowered to participate fully and inclusively in all of their community's activities and events, fostering a profound sense of belonging and unity. This web resource aims to guide the creation of vibrant communities by removing barriers to accessibility, following the Baha'i Teachings and Best Practices for Inclusive Design, and integrating these critical strategies into our community-building process. It emphasizes that everyone should feel valued and have equitable opportunities to participate, contribute, and thrive within their own communities.
Your Blind friends will instantly be able to tell if an email message is accessible or not. That's because they are using the Screen Reader technology which the accessibility standards are designed for. If these standards were followed, then things work. If not then there are usually problems.
Communication plays a vital role in building diverse and inclusive communities. Email messages are a common means of sharing information within the community, but if they exclude certain groups, they can create a sense of "otherness" and hinder community building. It is crucial to remove barriers and promote accessible and inclusive communication to build vibrant and inclusive communities.
