Together with eleven leading cultural institutions, EBA pursues a clear goal: not only to support artists with (hearing) disabilities, but to recognize them as <strong>Curators, decision-makers and leaders<\/strong> to establish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The project addresses deeply entrenched barriers within the European theatre and dance sector \u2013 particularly regarding access to production resources, leadership positions, and visibility. EBA therefore focuses on open calls, co-productions, and tours that are consistently led by artists with disabilities. An advisory board of ten artists with disabilities provides input on strategic decisions on an equal footing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Between 2018 and 2024, the EBA supported more than <strong>650 artists<\/strong> in <strong>110 activities<\/strong>, realized via <strong>40 new works<\/strong> and organized numerous industry events. All partner institutions committed to long-term reforms \u2013 for example in the areas of personnel recruitment, accessibility and committee composition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The impact extends far beyond individual productions. The model has been adapted in more than ten countries, influenced EU cultural debates, and led to new standards, for example in subtitling, sign language, digital formats, and accessible work processes. In Sweden, the approach was implemented, among other things, in the project <strong>Viaduct<\/strong> further developed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Three aspects make this project special:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Leadership instead of symbolism:<\/strong> Artists with disabilities take on curatorial and strategic roles.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Systemic change:<\/strong> Partner institutions commit to lasting reforms.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>European appeal:<\/strong> The model shapes cultural policy and practice across national borders.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Project manager Ben Evans sums it up perfectly:<br>\u201eAcross Europe artists with disabilities are enriching the cultural sector.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More information about Europe Beyond Access can be found here. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.europebeyondaccess.com\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Europe Beyond Access (EBA) is a European collaborative project led by Sk\u00e5nes Dansteater and co-funded by Creative Europe.
