Designed to enhance learning and engagement, to explore and dismantle barriers, and to challenge assumptions, each workshop was interactive and hands-on.
Using a suite of resources, exercises, and discussions facilitated by notable thinkers in the field of arts and disability, arts practitioners and professionals were supported as they work to devise and create accessible programmes and initiatives.

Audio Description for live performance is a live verbal commentary providing information on the visual elements of a production as it unfolds, from sets, props and costumes to actors’ facial expressions and movements across the stage.
Irish Sign Language (ISL) is the sign language used in the republic of Ireland. The language makes use of space and involves movement of hands, body, face and head. A sign language interpreter interprets what a person says or signs simultaneously, or immediately afterwards.
Speech to Text is a process of converting speech into text.
