ACCESSIBILITY STATEMENT
Last updated: August 2026
The Gina Dolci Institute, responsible for the institutional website of the Kolbian Cenacle, recognizes the importance of ensuring that its digital content and services are accessible to as many people as possible, regardless of their individual characteristics, abilities, or the technologies they use to browse the website.
Accessibility is part of the Institution’s commitment to welcoming all people, promoting inclusion, respecting human dignity, and ensuring equal access to information.
This Statement outlines the principles and efforts adopted to make the experience of using this website progressively more accessible.
1. Our Commitment to Accessibility
The Kolbian Cenacle seeks to develop and maintain its website in accordance with good digital accessibility practices and the principles established by applicable Brazilian legislation.
Whenever technically possible and appropriate to the characteristics of the website, we seek to provide an experience that enables people with different needs to perceive, understand, navigate, and interact with the content made available.
Accessibility is understood as an ongoing process. For this reason, the website may receive improvements and updates as new needs are identified and technologies and standards evolve.
2. References and Best Practices
In developing and improving this website, we seek to consider recognized digital accessibility references, including, where applicable:
the Brazilian Law for the Inclusion of Persons with Disabilities — Law No. 13,146/2015;
the international digital content accessibility guidelines known as the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG);
best practices related to structure, readability, navigation, and the use of assistive technologies;
other standards and guidelines applicable to digital accessibility.
These references guide the website’s ongoing development and do not constitute a declaration of certification or full compliance with all existing technical criteria.
3. Accessibility Features and Practices
During the development and maintenance of the website, measures may be adopted such as:
using a logical and well-organized heading and content structure;
ensuring adequate contrast between text and backgrounds;
using fonts and sizes that promote readability;
allowing content to be enlarged through browser or device features;
providing textual identification for relevant elements;
using alternative text for relevant images, where applicable;
enabling keyboard navigation whenever technically possible;
clearly identifying links, buttons, and interactive elements;
structuring forms with clear and understandable fields and instructions;
using clear language and consistent visual organization;
ensuring compatibility, whenever possible, with assistive technologies and screen readers;
reducing barriers that may hinder access to content.
Available features may vary depending on the page, content, and technologies used.
4. Images and Visual Content
The Kolbian Cenacle website contains historical, religious, institutional, and cultural content that may include photographs, documents, works of art, illustrations, and other visual elements.
Whenever an image plays a relevant role in understanding the content, we will seek to provide appropriate alternative descriptions based on its context.
Purely decorative elements may be handled in a way that prevents them from unnecessarily interfering with navigation through assistive technologies.
5. Videos, Audio, and Multimedia Content
When the website provides or embeds videos, audio, or other multimedia content, we will progressively seek, whenever technically feasible, to provide alternatives that improve accessibility, such as captions, transcripts, or supplementary descriptions.
Content provided through external platforms may be subject to the accessibility features made available by their respective providers.
6. Historical Documents and Third-Party Materials
Some documents, historical records, digitized images, or materials produced in earlier periods may have accessibility limitations due to their original format.
Likewise, certain content or features provided by third parties may not offer the same level of accessibility as pages developed directly for the Kolbian Cenacle.
In such situations, the Institution will seek, whenever reasonably possible, to identify alternatives or implement progressive improvements.
7. Compatibility with Browsers and Assistive Technologies
The website is developed with the aim of maintaining compatibility with modern browsers and widely used technologies.
However, differences between devices, operating systems, browsers, extensions, and assistive technologies may result in different user experiences.
We recommend keeping your browser, operating system, and assistive technologies up to date whenever possible.
8. Known Limitations
Although efforts are made to provide an accessible digital experience, certain pages, content, or features may have limitations.
This may occur particularly with:
digitized historical content;
documents produced by third parties;
older videos or materials;
integrations with external platforms;
features provided by third-party services;
content that is currently being adapted.
Identifying an accessibility barrier can directly contribute to improving the website.
9. Continuous Improvement
The Gina Dolci Institute considers digital accessibility an ongoing commitment.
The website may undergo evaluations, corrections, and improvements over time, particularly when new needs, barriers, or opportunities for improvement are identified.
Suggestions and reports of accessibility difficulties are welcome and may assist us in this process.
10. Have You Encountered an Accessibility Barrier?

Whenever possible, please provide:
