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.
