Developing and Delivering Accessible Opportunities Training

Join writer and artist Ayesha Chouglay to learn how your literature organisation can improve access to your events and opportunities.

Through this training session with Ayesha you will:

• Identify how you could improve the accessibility of your opportunities, from start to finish

• Understand potential access elements you could include

• Describe how to improve the accessibility of online opportunities

It is one of the four training sessions held during the Access to Literature symposium, organised by CRIPtic Arts and London Writers Centre. It was developed to respond to the challenges the literature sector faces and aims to shift the literature sector from just “getting by” to improving access across the board.

Who the training is for:

The training is for literature organisations of all sizes in the U.K. who want to be more inclusive, but may not know where to start in opening up opportunities for disabled writers and audiences. Freelancers working within literature spaces also welcome. No previous knowledge is required.

Please note we are running this training to get further feedback from literature professionals on its development before releasing the training packages and resources in 2027. This means that spaces are limited and the session will not be recorded. We welcome your feedback on the session.
