Fatt Projects has launched an events accessibility guide for nightlife and party organisers that is a culmination of their work over two years, delivering MOBILISE; Birmingham's accessible, sober queer dance party. The free resource, 'What We Found on the Dancefloor': "is intended to help you think about ways you can make your events more accessible to a wide range of people experiencing different barriers."
Working with the MOBILISE steering group, Fatt Projects has created this free, flexible resource which their website explains is "for people who organise nightlife events, parties, club-nights, festivals, and any other kind of event where the aim is for people to get together and party.
"This resource is a booklet with a series of questions to get you thinking about the accessibility of your events in the widest sense. There is a supporting template to help you collate your event’s access information.
"These questions aren’t exhaustive. They’re based on what we developed over two years delivering MOBILISE parties, what we found worked, and what people told us they needed. We hope that it will be a useful tool for you to make practical decisions about what you can, and also what you can’t offer at your events, and how you communicate this to audiences and the people you work with. Use it as a springboard for your own planning.
"Mostly we hope it will mean that more people are able to come and join you on the dance floor and find its joy, community, and power for themselves."
The resource booklet is available as a free PDF download from the Fatt Projects website, and a limited number of free print copies are also available on a first-come first-served basis.
