Get On Board
- 21 Oct 05, 12:00 AM
In a new venture, (who describe themselves as the UK's leading arts organisation made up of disabled and deaf people) are offering training days for deaf and disabled people who are interested in becoming a board member of an arts organisation.
They say: "Get On Board has been researched and devised using the direct experiences of disabled and deaf people within the disability and deaf arts sector as well as the mainstream. The aim is to explore the process of governance; share best practise and assist participants in finding a suitable organisation to work with."
The seminars (which will take place at the Tate Gallery, London) will run on 26 November for disabled people, and 28 January for deaf people. You can download further details, and the from the Shape Arts website.
have run a pilot of a very similar scheme for the last couple of years. (Indeed, my place on their own board was offered to me as a result of my having attending the training.) Funding for continuation of the scheme is currently being sought. If you'd be interested in taking part, keep an eye on the for news of developments.
Comments
If it's a course aimed at making the arts truly inclusive, why is the London seminar for Deaf people on a different day to the one for Disabled people? Why the differentiation between Deaf and Disabled - especially if its approach is in line with the Social Model of Disability?
