what you would need to build
The public-sector craft: plain-language (klarsprak) standards, accessibility and reading levels, legal and bureaucratic constraints, and the slow rhythm of authorities.
How to get there
- Learn the klarsprak principles and accessibility (WCAG, lattlast) standards.
- Rewrite a real public form or decision letter into something a citizen can follow.
- Get into the network via municipalities, regions, DIGG and the language-care community.
