Belfast organisation will lead the regional rollout of the UK and Ireland cultural accessibility initiative.
The Arts Council of Northern Ireland has chosen Belfast-based University of Atypical to lead the pilot of the All In scheme in Northern Ireland. The All In programme represents a major new access initiative designed specifically for the arts and cultural sector across both the UK and Ireland.
Under this appointment, University of Atypical will work to pilot the scheme across Northern Ireland, supporting cultural organisations as they seek to enhance accessibility for audiences and participants. The initiative introduces a structured framework focused on establishing a common set of accessibility standards across cultural venues and organisations.
In addition to setting shared standards, the All In scheme provides cultural organisations with specialist support to help them implement and maintain accessible practices. Another central component of the pilot involves developing and applying digital booking solutions tailored to accessibility needs within the cultural sector.
By engaging cultural venues and organisations throughout Northern Ireland, the pilot spearheaded by the Belfast organisation aims to test and refine these systems, ensuring that arts and cultural offerings become more accessible through unified standards, dedicated support, and improved booking tools across the wider arts landscape.
As the All In initiative is designed as a shared access scheme across both the UK and Ireland, the pilot in Northern Ireland directly affects accessibility standards and digital booking practices across the shared cultural and creative ecosystem.
