Challenge: Building best practices for the metaverse through the lens of diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility.

Gatherverse set out to develop educational content and training for ways community members can increase inclusion and accessibility in the metaverse.

Solution: The Resource Key worked with GatherVerse to develop a custom workshop. 

The Resource Key provided a workshop on the topic of Taking Flight...Adding Value to the Metaverse. Practical tools and best practices to ensure social media is more inclusive and accessible.  Participants learned ways to advance diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility in the metaverse to ensure people with disabilities are included.

Impact: GatherVerse is a global ecosystem where communities gather, discuss, document and share human centered approaches to the metaverse. Through implementation of best practices for inclusion and accessibility in the metaverse, GatherVerse will continue expanding reach and leading in the future of human centered approaches to the metaverse and emerging technologies to ensure inclusion for all.
