Access All Areas: Transforming Leadership

Learning disabled and autistic voices continue to be left out of leadership positions in the Cultural sector and are often blocked from changemaking roles in the arts.

On March 10^th, we’ll be talking about how to change this, and we want you to join the conversation. This event will be held in-person and livestreamed. Tickets to both the event and the livestream are available here.

Led by nine learning disabled creatives – alumni of our Transforming Leadership programme – Access All Areas and Disability Arts Online will share our “How to” guide on inclusive leadership.

Over the last two years of the training programme the leaders have developed skills in directing, chairing boards and digital influencing.

This session will be action focused and targeted at existing leaders and changemaking organisations in the arts. We’ll share what we did in our 2-year Transforming Leadership programme, and explore practical solutions for you to take to your organisation.

The landscape of our arts is changing. As the sector recovers from the pandemic, and organisations enter new funding cycles, it is essential that we create accessible employment and leadership structures, so that learning disabled and autistic voices have a place at the heart of our cultural recovery.

The event will be captioned and BSL interpreted, both in person and on the livestream.
