Facilitators for disability-led accessibility responsiveness training

Arts Access Aotearoa is seeking expressions of interest from Deaf and disabled people wanting to facilitate Deaf and disability-led responsiveness training.

What it is

This is a disability-led project to increase access to the arts for Deaf and disabled artists, arts workers and audiences.

Arts Access Aotearoa will cover costs associated with attending training and workshop delivery, and costs associated with support required for your attendance and participation.
