UK Disability History Month (22 November – 22 December) is an annual event creating a platform to focus on the history of the struggle for equality and human rights. This year marks the eighth anniversary of this event, with a focus on the Arts.
Student Support and Wellbeing have organised a programme of events for UK Disability History Month at Kent. Events include art exhibitions, musical performances, talks, workshops, performance art, film screenings, a comedy night, as well as an exploration of gaming accessibility and design.
The full programme of events is available on the website.
Through celebrating Disability History Month at the University of Kent, we aim to:
- Raise disability awareness on campus
- Raise the profile of disabled students and staff, as well as the social, cultural and psychological challenges they may face
- Counter prejudice
- Offer inspiration for current and future students and staff with disabilities
- Explore disability history in the context of the Arts
We hope that you will join us in celebrating UK Disability History Month this year.
