Artswork is pleased to be delivering the established one day course -‘Access All Areas: disability and youth arts’ in partnership with Lakeside Arts Centre in Nottingham. This course is being delivered as part of the ‘Progress’ Project*. ‘Progress’ is subsiding places for those booking on from voluntary or community organisations (See below).
Artswork is the largest provider of specialist youth arts training courses and publications in the UK and all training and publications are written and supported by experienced youth arts specialists, all of whom are also currently involved in direct project work with young people.

This course is designed to encourage a broader exploration of equal opportunities within youth arts. Participants will develop an understanding of current legislation and the importance of inclusive practice, through looking at political and cultural contexts. Participants will also explore practical ways of ensuring youth arts projects and venues are genuinely inclusive to young disabled people. The course will leave participants feeling confident about their responsibilities, and inspired to engage in youth arts practice with young disabled people.

Rachel Hall, Artswork's Professional Development Manager, commented:

“This course is suitable for anyone working within youth arts, looking to learn more about the issue of accessibility and ensure equal opportunities are a natural part of their project planning; as well as those who would like to include the arts in their current work with disabled young people”.
