DANCING  explores  the right of  persons with disabilities to take part in cultural life as an essential aspect of enhancing cultural diversity in the EU. It aims to produce ground-breaking knowledge and adopts an interdisciplinary and participatory approach. The project is funded by the European Research Council (ERC) and is based at Maynooth University under Professor Delia Ferri as a Principal Investigator (PI).

Why are we doing research into disability and cultural diversity in EU Law?

  • Everyone has a right to take part in the cultural life of the community, and to enjoy the arts. 

  • When people with disabilities take part in art and culture, we all benefit.  

  • People with disabilities are frequently not able to take part in art and culture. 

  • Cultural diversity is a value in the EU, and people with disabilities participating in culture will increase cultural diversity. 

We aim to challenge the cultural exclusion often faced by people with disabilities and to contribute to the creation of a more inclusive society.
