Abstract:	Easy-to-understand language, ranging from Easy Language (or Easy-to-Read) to Plain Language, has traditionally put the emphasis on written printed texts. However, in the last years a growing interest in how easy-to-understand language could be used in audiovisual media has developed. This has been one of the central topics of the EASIT (Easy Access for Social Inclusion Training) project, an Erasmus + project funded by the European Commission in the 2018-2021 period.
Abstract:	This workshop will be built upon a selection of video presentations created as part of the EASIT project (pagines. uab. cat/easit). The ultimate aim of the workshop is that participants gain a better understanding of the following aspects: What is easy-to-understand language? What is the difference between Easy-to-Read (or Easy Language) and Plain Language?, Who are the end users of easy-to-understand content? What are the basic rules of Easy-to-Understand Language?, Can we create easy-to-understand subtitles? How can we create easy-to-understand audio descriptions? Apart from the video presentations, we hope to engage in a lively discussion with workshop participants, who will be proposed some hands-on activities.
