Project Summary

The project “Field Aperture : Inclusion in Society by the Arts” (ISA) intends to act on:
– professionnal practices
– communication by the arts and culture
– the way to deliver training and scholl’ contents to young people and adults

In an other way, the 6 members of the consortium intend:
– to change the perception of the Society
– to impact the education and training systems on the perception of people with disabilities
– to improve impowerment of people with disabilities
– to promote the UNCRPD

The 6 members of the consortium are LADAPT (France – coordinator of ISA), Cope Foundation (Ireland), EASPD (Belgium), Horizon 2000 asbl (Belgium), NASO (Bulgaria), Kézenfogva Alapítvány (Hungary). Those service providers are delivering quality services to PWD and in society awareness in the fields of education, work, arts, culture, housing, training, health, etc.
The partners have a very high level of expertise and efficient networks. The members of the consortium are clearly engaged in the european political and economical envronnments, as well as at a national level.

The ISA project is built around 3 issues and the production of 5 deliverables:

Issue 1, to work with cinema, advertising and theatre scools and universities to developp an inclusive and respectuous implementation of the UNCRPD’s articles 8 and 30:
# O1 – Guide of the european good practices in matter of inclusion by the arts (deliverable 1)
# O2 – Tool box “Inclusion by the arts” for the teachers and professors working at school and universities (deliverable 2)

Issue 2, to act on the schooling environment to adapt the contents and, by this way, promote inclusion by the arts
# O3 – Guide to sustain teachers and professors to promote art as an inclusive pedagogy (déliverable 3)
# O4 – Inquiries of experience feedback with the students (deliverable 4)

Issue 3, to promote Field Aperture on the ground. Each consortium member will organise at least one Field Aperture event a year, using the following method:
# O5 – Process guide “Field Aperture” (deliverable 5).

3 events / conferences will be carried out during all the programme. They will be organised as follows:
– in the morning, international dissemination conference
– in the afternoon, Field Aperture event

The 3 events are:
# E1 – France (june 2018)
# E2 – Hungary (march 2019)
# E3 – Belgium (june 2020) closing conference.

About the method: we have decided for a participative way. Each member of the consortium is the pilot of one of the intellectual production and the linked deliverables.
In an other way, each member is responsible for animation on the ground of the stakeholders. It has to create and implement efficient networks which whom they will promote on the ground the programme.
The service providers and the stakeholders are associated to promote and improve their service offering. By the way, we absolutely want to work with partners which are efficient in the artistic area and events production.

To measure results and impacts, we will produce deliverables all along the programme, which will be experimented during the 3 years.
Due to our quality engagements, we will be carefull to improve our actions and offers.

To us, the targets and the long term benefits are:
– to involve schools and universities in a long term partnership
– the improvement of the contents delivered to adults and youngs
– a change about the perception concerning the use of arts as an efficient way to contribute to improve inclusion for PWD
– the influence of arts in the communication to improve non discrimination
– the participation of the creation of a european network about Field Aperture
– the creation of Field Aperture european events
– the development of a real long-term strategy turned to the mainstream
