Access into Action Webinar Series


  • Open Captioning

Arts & Disability Ireland presents Access into Action, a webinar series developed to support Irish arts and culture professionals to create accessible content and experiences for audiences with disabilities.

Access into Action provides practical knowledge that can be put into immediate action. Each webinar provides a brief context, explores why an aspect of access is important, discusses the benefit for audiences, shares practical know-how and closes with a facilitated Q&A to ensure participants get the most out of each session.

This series forms part of our Dublin Access Partnership, which has been running since August 2018 and is embedding a more holistic approach to accessible arts programming for audiences with disabilities.

To kick-start the series, we had Oli Webster, Programme Systems Manager at Stagetext, who presented Subtitling Online Content on Tuesday 14th July at 11am.

A recording of this webinar, with open captions, is now available to view here.

Next up, we had Roz Chalmers, a member of the resident team of describers in London’s National Theatre, The Old Vic Theatre, Chickenshed and the Park Theatre, who presented Writing Accessible Introductions on Tuesday 28th July at 11am.

A recording of this webinar, with open captions, is now available to view here.
