Our Advisory Board recently gathered to develop ideas around creating accessibility and inclusion for Prism events held in our studios. ✨

The group got the ball rolling with some physical movement exercises and creating sensory maps across our building.

Through visual creative play the advisory board then explored themes of what makes them feel comfortable in various environments, and also ideas on creating access support for Prism events. 🌞

Another busy and productive meeting of our Advisory Board! 🥳

Drawings as shown:
Catherine : Figure surrounded by fidget toys and a clock.
JYMA : Notes about event accessibility and inclusion.
Michael S. : His essentials for taking the dog on a walk. (Poo bags, hand sanitiser, dog.)
