Transforming Leadership National – Access All Areas

Transforming Leadership National

Access All Areas’ Transforming Leadership programme is going national.  

In 2020-22, we ran a programme with Disability Arts Online that trained new learning disabled and autistic cultural leaders, and changed the way we think about leadership. Now, we’ve come together with disability arts organisations and venues in 8 English regions to share what we’ve learned and to take this change across the country. 

 

 

This programme will create a new way for venues and disability arts organisations to share knowledge on leadership and employment skills for learning disabled and autistic creatives.  

We’ve teamed up with 7 other disability arts companies, 7 UK venues, and some of the UK’s best leadership development organisations, to make real and practical change and shake up the landscape of arts leadership. 

Over the next 2 years, we’ll also share resources, tips, and stories about this work, including advice on Access to Work, Creative Support, co-leadership, and navigating the benefits system. 

Hear from our programme leaders!

We’ve joined with Disability Arts Online to create a blog. 8 learning disabled and autistic leaders from arts companies around the UK will share what leadership, and this process, means to them.

Helen, the workshop leader, is standing next to the circle. She is holding a water bottle and laughing as a participant talks to her. They are all wearing comfortable creative/casual attire. On the design, text reads: "Transforming Leadership National Blog” along with Disability Arts Online and AAA Logos and the illustration that represents the Transforming Leadership programme, two hands joined together seemingly holding various floating icons.
