As part of Europe Beyond Access, the British Council has commissioned On the Move, the international cultural mobility network, to lead a study into the level of knowledge and experience held by European cultural operators in relation to disabled artists and their works. The aim is to understand in more detail the barriers which exist in Europe's performing arts sector, and to identify key areas where knowledge could be increased and practices improved.

This survey is the first of its kind – in terms of scope and target groups – to be run at the level of Creative Europe countries and Switzerland. There are around 40 questions, most of which are multiple choice. Your contribution should take about 15 minutes and will be all the more important in a context where cultural accessibility are being challenged by the Covid-19 crisis and the realignment of support systems.

This survey is open to:

•  Professionals working for venues and festivals.

•  Artists and cultural professionals in the performing arts (such as agents, producers, technicians, front of house staff, bookers, authors, dramaturgs, translators, etc.).

•  Representatives of agencies and funding bodies.

•  People active in networks, federations, resource or info points, etc.

The survey closed on 30 October 2020.
