Liberi Ludi AISBL is committed to making liberiludi.com accessible to as many people as possible, including people with disabilities. We aim to follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, the technical standard referenced by the European Accessibility Act and by most EU funders, including the Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values Programme (CERV).
This statement applies to liberiludi.com and all of its subpages.
1. Why accessibility matters to us
Liberi Ludi work with children in situations of migration. The communities we serve include people who use the web through assistive technologies — screen readers, keyboard navigation, voice control, larger text. The artists, educators and partners in our community include people with sensory and motor disabilities. We see accessibility as part of our mission, not as a compliance task.
2. What we have done so far
In building liberiludi.com we have aimed to follow these accessibility principles:
• Perceivable — sufficient text/background colour contrast (target: at least WCAG AA, 4.5:1 for body text), text-resizable up to 200%, meaningful alt text on images, captions on video content where available.
• Operable — full keyboard navigation, visible focus states, skip-to-content link at the top of every page, no time-limited interactions.
• Understandable — clear language, consistent navigation, predictable behaviour, error messages on forms that explain how to correct the problem.
• Robust — valid HTML, ARIA used only where native HTML semantics are not enough, content readable by current and recent assistive technologies.
3. What we have not yet done
We are honest about the current state. As of the date of this statement:
• No formal WCAG 2.1 AA audit has yet been performed
on the live site. We plan a first audit within twelve months of launch, and an updated audit each calendar year thereafter.
• Some PDF documents linked from the Site (the founding deed, the Moniteur belge publication, statutes) are scans or were produced before accessibility was considered. We are working to provide accessible (tagged) versions where possible.
• Embedded videos published before this statement may lack captions or descriptive transcripts. We are adding these progressively.
• We have not yet completed a full colour-contrast audit of the brand palette.
4. Known issues
This section will be updated as issues are identified. As of the date of this statement:
• [None reported yet — to be updated after first user feedback or audit.]
Colour contrast on decorative brand backgrounds. Some large headings appear in white on our brand sky-blue background. This combination gives a contrast ratio of approximately 2.3:1, below the 3:1 required by WCAG 2.1 AA for large text. The affected text is decorative and always duplicated in accessible form in the body text below it, so no information is available only in low-contrast form. We keep this under review and will adjust the palette in the next design cycle.
5. Reporting an accessibility issue or requesting content in an accessible format

6. Enforcement
