Cards for Inclusion is a card game helping the arts sector by creatively exploring how barriers can be removed. Taking inspiration from gamification, the cards took over 18 months to develop. Challenge yourself to think outside the box about how we can all make what we offer more accessible to disabled people.
This tool is a way to help everyone dig into their own creativity to come up with access solutions. Rather than seeing the removal of barriers as something only ‘experts’ can solve, Cards for Inclusion is here to prove that everyone can make the arts accessible. It is playful as well as educational.
There are three sets of cards: WHAT – art or event or item, WHERE – place or space or context, and BARRIER – thing that stops people from accessing. Even blank cards are available to personalise them and match specific situations. After creating a situation by combining three cards, one from each set, the aim is to find a solution to overcome the barrier.
The card game is designed for groups and contains very simple words and images to describe those words for those who prefer visual representation or for whom English is not their first language.
