News from DaDa - Disability and Deaf Arts

Welcome!

Since our last newsletter, I attended the EU Cultural Conference in Brussels. I have a passion about doing more disability and deaf arts work with people in non-English speaking countries. It was a stimulating two days of talks, not always accessible to me for a variety of reasons, but I did glean some interesting things.

I was particularly struck by a presentation by Pier Luigi Sacco, a cultural lecturer from Milan. He is mapping out the impact of specific cultural activities on well-being – did you know that if you attend jazz, classic or rock concerts at least 5 times a year, it can add 10 years to your life, similarly theatre and performance can add around 8 years! He said that there is only one cultural activity that has the opposite effect – send your guesses in – and I will reveal all in the next newsletter.
