Workshop run by Equality Network exploring disability, neurodiversity and the accessibility of Pride, through interactive activities.
Venue: St Mark’s Church
Organiser: Equality Network
Tickets: Free. Not ticketed
Age: All Welcome
Event Description
Join Equality Network to explore how Pride can be more accessible and inclusive. Share your experiences and ideas for making Pride truly for everyone.
The Porty Pride team have made every effort to make it accessible and inclusive for all. Unfortunately, not all Prides - or all parts of Pride - are inclusive or accessible to everyone.
In this discussion we’ll share what makes Pride events accessible and inclusive for us and how they might be improved to truly be Pride for All.
This participatory session will include opportunities for you to share your thoughts and feelings by speaking, writing or by joining in a group art activity.
We will be centering the experience of disabled and neurodivergent people, although all are welcome.
