I am looking forward to starting MixAbilities Inclusive Arts Training at H’art Centre tomorrow.
MixAbilities is our six-module training program designed to enhance access to the arts by ensuring artists and educators are trained to effectively and empathetically support participants who are Deaf and those with disabilities.
Click here for a video introduction to the program.
I will be introduced to H’artCentre’s vision and mission, policies and procedures, communication techniques, workshop observations, lesson planning, creative space considerations, and arts-based instructional strategies.
H’art Centre Vision
H’art Centre’s vision is to be Canada’s model, in thought and action, providing knowledge, experience, and proven programming for adults with disabilities and those facing barriers who wish to have access to and participate in Arts, Music, Dance and Theatre throughout their lives and as they age.
H’art Centre Mision
H’art Centre is an award winning, registered not-for-profit, charitable community arts hub that provides artists with disabilities and those facing barriers with opportunities to create, study and produce works in the arts and collaborate with qualified, trained community artists.
We do this to nurture a vibrant, exciting and supportive culture that encourages artists, staff, volunteers and audiences to reach beyond limiting beliefs and expectations. To value and recognize artists individually for their abilities, and to share this understanding with the world.
