Direct Access helps organisations develop programming and curation for accessible events on both a short-term and long-term basis.
During Expo 2020 Dubai, we had a full-time team on the ground developing training for staff and volunteers, Key Performance Indicators and advising on the curation of the whole event.
Other events we have consulted on range from simple school fairs, large scale exhibitions, outdoor events and even black tie parties. We also worked with the British Embassy in Abu Dhabi to ensure accessibility for the Queen’s birthday party (May she rest in peace).
Outdoor festivals have numerous obstacles to overcome to provide access for disabled people such as the provision of temporary facilities, toilets, rough terrain, required acoustics, weather and untrained staff members. Some events will also require potential sign language content.
We understand these challenges and strive to make events accessible for all with the available budgets.
Contact us today, let us know what kind of event you want to meet best practice accessibility standards. We’re here to help.
