What does it really mean to make your festival or venue accessible? Too often, accessibility is only addressed in the final stages — through production adjustments such as wheelchair access or sign language interpreters. But that’s not enough. Based on the principle of “nothing about us without us,” In fact, inclusion agents advocate for a fundamentally different approach: start with the people themselves.
In this session, experienced experts and creators will show you how to embed accessibility into your organization and programming from step one: the people. Not just behind the scenes, but also on stage. What does talent development look like when people with and without disabilities collaborate from the very beginning? How does that enrich your program and your organization?
