In this comprehensive disabled-led training with Birds of Paradise, you will learn about what actively disables people, explore disability from a cultural context, and gain the skills and confidence to create a more inclusive and accessible environment in whatever you do.
This training with Birds of Paradise is underpinned by an extensive knowledge of equality and access within the sector as well as the wider context of how we view disability and think about equality within society.
We know disabled people continue to experience significant barriers in the culture sector and elsewhere. This training offers a relaxed way to gain the skills and confidence to remove these barriers. The knowledge, skills and tools you gain during the session will apply across all areas of your work and motivate you to make a positive change.

In this three hour session you will learn about:
- Cultural representation: how disability is viewed and its impact
- Models of disability
- Legislation & activism: where we’ve been and how we got here
- Language around disability
- Access requirements and removing barriers

“Surpassed my expectations. Was able to ask the “rookie” questions that I was afraid I’d have to ask. The atmosphere and openness was truly conducive to productive learning.”
