Access Management for Events and Venues | ZMINA:Resilience capacity building workshop #10
Making a venue wheelchair accessible is not the same as making a visit accessible. Real participation depends on decisions made long before a disabled artist or audience member arrives — and on people who know how to plan for them.
This training session introduces the practical foundations of accessibility work in culture: we’ll discuss medical and social models of disability, what that shift actually changes about how we identify and remove barriers to participation.
Led by disability consultant and access manager Luke Sinclair, the session covers sensory, cognitive and invisible accessibility, how access riders work, and what it means to plan a cultural event or project with access management built in from the start. Two hands-on exercises give participants the chance to apply these tools directly to their own context.

Accessible Tools for Inclusive Cultural Practices | ZMINA:Resilience capacity building workshop #11
Too often, disability inclusion in the arts still means designing activities for people with disabilities, rather than with them — and assuming what they need instead of asking.
This session, led by Kapalakasa Zelo Chiley of Refugee Together for Social Transformation (RTST) in Uganda, offers a practical alternative. Drawing on years of work with refugees, particularly refugees with disabilities, and vulnerable communities in Kampala, the session shows how arts and creative activities — from storytelling and music to movement and crafts — can become genuine spaces for self-expression, confidence-building and social connection when people with disabilities are actively involved in shaping them. Participants will explore concrete, low-resource ways to adapt activities, materials and communication to different needs and environments, then put the approach into practice through a short interactive exercise.

Creative Practices in Crisis and Conflict Response | ZMINA:Resilience capacity building workshop #12
Artists are often among the first to respond to crisis — creating spaces for expression, connection, and collective processing where institutional frameworks have yet to reach. But working with communities affected by armed conflict requires more than artistic skill. It requires an understanding of trauma, clear professional boundaries, and the capacity to hold emotionally safe space without assuming a clinical role.
