Stages of our project

We aim to bring together disabled people, their organisations, families, professionals and academics in Cuba and the UK. We want to learn from each other: sharing ideas and practice, collaborating on projects and working together to remove barriers to full and equal participation. We grew out of a 2023-24 Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) networking project and are now established as a permanent network, putting actors in contact with each other and sharing knowledge to make change

Objectives
  • Stimulate debate and exchange.
  • Develop or extend collaborations.
  • Include non-academic communities in each phase.
  • Share knowledge interculturally.
  • Leading role for disabled people

Intended Achievements

  • A permanent collaboration network.
  • A practical legacy of collaborations.
  • A basis for future funding bids.
  • Training and conceptual development in both countries.

Our activities are decided, designed and facilitated by a steering group, representing key organisations in Granma and the UK.
