More than 25 professionals from the social teams and secretaries of the different TEB centres have been trained during the first half of 2019 in writing easy-to-read texts.
The objective is to write circulars, letters and notes more cognitively accessible for TEB workers and users and their families.
The training sessions, of 3 hours duration and carried out in small groups, have been led by the Communication team of TEB through the reflection and analysis of informative documents of daily use within the cooperatives.
TEB expects to renew the training each year to recycle knowledge and deepen the learning.
The easy-to-read texts facilitate its comprehension to everybody, and especially to people with reading difficulties, both transitory and permanent. They include adaptations in the language, content and presentation, but the basic informational content is maintained.
