Uppertunity is doing research on disability, accessibility and inclusion, and are running a yearlong action-based research project, focused on looking at what helps and hinders accessibility and inclusion for all.
The aim is for us to capture first-hand what hurdles and barriers people face in living, learning and working, and then use this to create or bring together opportunities to overcome these hurdles.
Uppertunity and Purphora are hosting 4 events at the V&A, across the year, to gain insight.
At each event, there will be key note speakers, including individuals with lived experience, as well as creative and fun activities to stimulate thoughts and ideas.
Events will also include information from business who are combating barriers, and interactive activities to explore the themes and give attendees opportunities to share their experiences and hopes. Speakers will be confirmed in the Eventbrite link.
These events will run across the year, all at the V&A. The dates and theme are below. Please make sure you book tickets for your chosen event.
