This Open Space event is a participant-led, shared meeting in which everyone who attends contributes to the agenda, and ideas are discussed collaboratively.
What is Open Space?
The aim is to foster connection, innovation and networking between artists, facilitators, curators, venues and anyone working in disability arts in Kent and Medway.
It’s a chance to have your say about what you feel our sector needs. It will also inform our planning and delivery of the full Elevate slow conference in 2027.
How will it work?
Book a ticket and go to this Google form to share a discussion idea, which we will gather together for the event. We will draw connections between questions, themes and issues to unpick in small groups.
The space and pace will be inclusive and welcoming – you can come as you are, and contribute as you wish. We will have a break from 11.30-12.00 before coming back together to share what we have discussed.
