Learning to Change: The Role of Educational Institutions in Fostering Accessibility for Disabled Artists and Culture Professionals in Europe
How accessible (or inaccessible) is performing arts education in Europe for disabled artists and cultural workers?
On December 3, Europe Beyond Access – the biggest project in the world about art and disability, of which IETM is a dissemination partner - will launch the new report, Learning to Change - a research report authored by On The Move, and commissioned by Skånes Dansteater in the context of Europe Beyond Access with the support of the British Council - which examines the current state of accessibility in higher arts education across Creative Europe countries and the UK. The research draws on surveys, interviews, and focus groups with disabled artists, cultural organisations, and higher education institutions.
The report sheds light on widespread barriers to access and participation, while also identifying examples of promising practice. It calls for a shift from reliance on individual goodwill to the development of structural and institutional change.
This online event will bring together professionals, artists, policymakers, educators, reasearchers and cultural leaders to reflect on the findings and discuss the way forward.
Join the event and be part of the conversation for a more inclusive and equitable arts education sector!
