Join the MDS School's Equality, Diversity and Inclusion team and the Barber Institute of Fine Arts for a three-part creative workshop inspired by the recent Disabled Students' Commission Report.

Last year, the Birmingham Guild of Students published the Disabled Students' Commission Report, which included sobering findings about the lives and learning experiences of disabled students at the University. The report calls for urgent intervention to ensure all students have a fair chance to achieve their potential. Disabled students at the University want to speak out and be heard!

Over three creative sessions, you will work with local writer and poet Adrian Earle and artist facilitator Kirsty Clarke to break down the report and examine the power of its words. You will create micro-form protest poems and visual artworks for display around the school, to highlight the stories behind the data and illustrate the report's impact and findings.

This is the final workshop in the series and will take place at the MDS School on Wednesday 22 March between 2 and 4 pm. The workshops are standalone sessions and you don't need to have attended the previous 2 to come along to this one.

This workshop series is designed exclusively for MDS students at the University of Birmingham, is free and is for all levels and abilities. No writing or artistic experience is needed; there will be accessible creative exercises in each session to get the artistic juices flowing. All materials will be provided!
