Time to Act: Data-led insights on Performing Arts and Disability in Europe

Two years on from the ground-breaking Time to Act report, British Council has commissioned On the Move – to conduct a follow-up report looking further into the knowledge gaps in the cultural sector that contribute towards inequalities for disabled artists and audiences.

This new report reveals data-led insights into the accessibility, inclusion, international mobility and professional development of disabled artists in the European performing arts sector, as well as the progress made over the past few years. The report combines a regional focus, covering all the countries participating in the Creative Europe programme (as well as Switzerland and the UK), with more detailed analyses of the progress made in three of the countries where Europe Beyond Access has operated – namely, Italy, Poland, and Sweden.

The Executive Summary of the report is available in English, French, Italian, Polish and Spanish.
