Abstract
The project ‘Protecting the Right to Culture of Persons with Disabilities and Enhancing Cultural Diversity through European Union Law: Exploring New Paths
(DANCING)’ explores the right of persons with disabilities to take part in cultural life as an essential aspect
of enhancing cultural diversity in the European Union
(EU). The project is funded by the European Research
Council (ERC) and is based at Maynooth University
(MU), Ireland under Professor Delia Ferri as a Principal Investigator (PI). It explores the extent to which
the protection of the right to take part in culture of
people with disabilities and the promotion of cultural
diversity intersect and complement each other in the
EU legal order. On the whole, DANCING deploys interdisciplinary approaches to produce ground-breaking
knowledge intended to challenge the cultural exclusion often faced by people with disabilities, contributing to the creation of a more inclusive and culturally
diverse European society.
DANCING commenced on 1 September 2020 and is
due to be completed on 31 August 2025. It comprises
four Work Packages (WPs). Within WP1, DANCING has
identified and categorised barriers to and facilitators
of cultural participation experienced by persons with
disabilities and how they affect the wider cultural domain (experiential objective). Within WP2, DANCING
has provided a normative exploration of how the EU
has used and can use its competence to combat discrimination and its supporting competence on cultural
matters, in synergy with its wide internal market powers, to ensure the accessibility of cultural activities, to
promote disability identities, while achieving cultural diversity (normative objective). WP3 has aimed at
advancing the understanding of the legal concept of
cultural diversity, which stems from the intersection
of different sources of law, and, in the final phase of
the project, articulates a new theorisation of the promotion of cultural diversity within the EU legal order
(theoretical objective). The project is underpinned by
the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with
Disabilities (CRPD), which represents the global legal
standard on disability rights, and is informed by the
human rights model of disability.
DANCING also includes a fourth cross-cutting WP
(WP4) focused on raising awareness, deploying specific outputs for the general public and producing a
number of toolkits and guidelines that aim to advance
the understanding of what facilitates cultural participation of people with disabilities, legal change and effective policy responses at the EU level. As part of this
WP, as will be discussed in the following subsection,
we compiled this Resource List which provides information on existing organisations, projects, outputs
and good practices related to culture and disability in
a broad fashion, or that concern cultural participation
of persons with disabilities.
