BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS<br />

BETWEEN DISABLED AND<br />

NON-DISABLED PEOPLE<br />

13.9 million people are considered to<br />

be disabled in the UK.<br />

Disabled people remain significantly<br />

less likely to participate in cultural,<br />

leisure and sporting activities than nondisabled<br />

people.<br />

Two-thirds of the British public feel<br />

uncomfortable talking to disabled<br />

people.<br />

IT WAS REALLY FUN<br />

WORKING WITH THE<br />

PUPILS FROM THE<br />

SCHOOL BECAUSE<br />

EVEN THOUGH THEY<br />

HAVE A DIFFERENT<br />

LIFE, THEY CAN<br />

STILL DO THE SAME<br />

AS US, IT’S JUST<br />

THAT THEY’VE GOT<br />

A DISABILITY. THEY<br />

DON’T GIVE UP.<br />

WHAT WE DID<br />

creative:connection enabled 153<br />

disabled and non-disabled young<br />

people to collaborate creatively,<br />

allowing them to develop new<br />

skills and shared understanding.<br />

The process of making art, music,<br />

film and animation together helped<br />

break down the stereotypes,<br />

misconceptions and anxieties that<br />

reinforce social barriers.<br />
