🎓 Systemic Barriers in Arts Education = Fewer Career Opportunities

In honour of International Day of Persons with Disabilities, we share some of the insights from the research 'Learning to Change' authored by On The Move, and commissioned by Skånes Dansteater in the context of Europe Beyond Access with the support of the British Council, which show major gaps in how performing arts schools support disabled students.

📉 They have been asked asked to rate accessibility across 9 areas: no area meets the minimum standard. Support services, buildings, and timetables were among the lowest-rated.

➡️ The consequence
Many disabled artists never even apply, deterred by legal exclusions, inaccessible entry tests, and exclusionary institutional cultures.

🎭 Why it matters
Graduates of performing arts institutions are twice as likely to have participated in 15+ professional productions compared to those who didn’t attend. Access to education opens doors — and being denied it closes them.

🚨 It's time to break the cycle of exclusion. Let's reimagine arts education as truly open to all.

The report is launching today, go to https://ow.ly/EPhh50XzSOh for more information.

'Everything was going perfectly. However …'

The word ‘however’ lets you take your ideas in a different direction. It’s a great way to create contrasts and show more complex thinking in the IELTS test.

So let’s get some practice with ‘however’. Tell us in the comments how the story continues. ✍️

🆕 Learning to Change
New Report Launching December 3!

How accessible - or inaccessible - is performing arts education in Europe for disabled artists and cultural workers?

The new report 'Learning to Change: Accessibility in Performing Arts Training Across Europe', authored by On The Move, and commissioned by Skånes Dansteater in the context of Europe Beyond Access with the support of the British Council, investigates the accessibility barriers in higher education institutions across Creative Europe countries and the UK.

🔎 Based on surveys, interviews, and focus groups with disabled artists, higher education institutions, and cultural organisations, the report reveals both challenges and promising practices to shift from individual goodwill to systemic change.

📅 Join the online launch event on December 3, 11.00–13.00 CET, International Day of Persons with Disabilities: https://ow.ly/YUFp50Xz0Tw
