On the 7th June 2023 Cultural Inclusion hosted Making Change Happen Symposium at the Royal Albert Hall. This newsletter focuses on reflections from this event.

The event, attended by over 70 people from across the disability and culture sectors, was opened by Barbara Keeley MP - Shadow Minister for Arts & Civil Society and included contributions from Jodi-Alissa Bickerton - Creative Learning Director at Graeae Theatre Company, Lisha Rooney - CEO of WhatDo, and JadoreKid (JK), a young multi-disciplinary artist who has had residencies at the SAATCHI Gallery and The Cartoon Museum. There was also a listening exercise to gather views on the Cultural Education Plan led by key civil servants from the Department for Education.
