ETBs and HEIs: Are you ready to adopt the ALTITUDE Charter?
Communicate your commitment to adopt on March 20th 2026 – 2nd National ALTITUDE Adoption Day!
Following the initial launch of the ALTITUDE Charter in March 2024, which sparked a national conversation about embedding a universal design approach in tertiary education, a significant number of ETBs and HEIs formally adopted the Charter in April 2025. On March 20th, 2026, aligning with the second day of the inaugural ALTITUDE Summit the project team partners are encouraging all tertiary institutions who have yet to adopt but are ready to do so in or around that date.
