Abstract

The aim of the Assemble research and evaluation project (AREP) was twofold. On the one hand, we evaluated the Assemble programme itself and its impact on young disabled people who participated in it. On the other hand, our project sought to get a better understanding of the wider context withing which the Assemble programme operates.
Our methodology included both qualitative and qualitative methods. To evaluate the programme, we conducted focus groups with stakeholders, reflective practitioners’ workshops, participant observation, and co-design workshops with young disabled people. We also ran an evaluation survey and collated and analysed disability statistical data from various official sources. To research the wider context in relation to young disabled people’s access to cultural activities, we conducted semi-structured interviews and focus groups with relevant policy makers, funders, disability and cultural organisations.
