Coalition for People with Disabilities to Take

In the fall of 2024, a select group of stakeholders from the performing arts sector, along with various stakeholders and organizations working to promote inclusion for people with disabilities in the performing arts, participated in a coalition-building process led and facilitated by Forum for Social Innovation Sweden at Malmö University.
More about the coalition method and Viaductus
The Coalition Method is a meeting format developed by Forum for Social Innovation Sweden a diverse group of individuals and organizations come together to explore a complex societal challenge. Over the course of four meetings, participants share perspectives, knowledge, and experiences and work to develop innovative solutions.
Viaductus is an important project. I hope that, as a coalition, we can look beyond the challenges and obstacles. My hope is that we can help participants see that there may be viable alternative paths forward—if only we’re willing to explore them.
