Creative Learning Hub: Who Can Participate? Exploring Equitable Approaches to Engagement in the Arts

\ Programme

On this Creative Learning Hub, Livvy Murdoch discussed their work on Autograph’s learning programme, which takes a rights-based approach to arts participation. This approach prioritises partnership working, equity and personalisation to better ensure that marginalised communities have accessible and inclusive opportunities to engage in the arts.

Key Takeaways:

  • Understanding the principles of a rights-based approach to arts participation.

  • Strategies for creating accessible and inclusive opportunities for marginalised communities.

  • Practical examples from successful programmes for disabled and neurodivergent artists.

  • Insights into supporting families with children with complex needs in arts initiatives.
