ADLAB-PRO’s fifth Multiplier Event has been organized by University of Barcelona, at the Residència d’Investigadors on the 21^st March 2019. The workshop has presented the results of the of the project and gave strong emphasis on open access to the materials developed within the project in order to guarantee a bigger impact on society and policy-makers, and the project’s future sustainability. This is why the materials are not seen as closed and rigidly structured modules but rather as open and flexible modular items. The workshop, presented on a hands-on workshop organised in Barcelona in 2019, and collocated with the 8th ARSAD conference, the Advanced Research Seminar on Audio Description, involved other trainers , giving different possible learning paths and suggestions for integrating the modular materials.
