Articulate UKDo you have experience of using creative methods to consult young learning disabled people on policy development and planning?
Shape, a disability-led arts organisation, is running Articulate UK between 25 an 27 May 2010 at Sadlers Wells Theatre in London.
Young learning disabled people from 3 different regions of the country will work with a professional theatre company called Mind the Gap. They will take to the stage and talk about their hopes and fears for life after school in front on an audience of their peers and people involved in service delivery and policy, followed by a series of fun workshops where the young people play an active roles.
Would you be interested in coming to the event on May 27 and talking to young learning disabled people and other policy people about your success story?
Shape is looking for case studies of:
a) how creative methods have been used to give young learning disabled people a voice, and
b) how people in policy and service delivery have developed or adapted policy in response to a creative consultation of this kind.
Shape is particularly interested in talking to people who work in Bristol, Oxfordshire and London, but would love to hear from anyone working in this sector in the UK.
I have a budget to invite practitioners/policy makers from all three of these regions to attend the final conference event in May 2010, so please get in touch.
