Accentuate
Accentuate is the London 2012 Legacy Programme for the South East, launched in December 2009.
Accentuate is inspired by the values and achievements of the Paralympic Movement.
Accentuate aims to create a cultural shift in the way disabled people are seen and provide a variety of opportunities for disabled people to take part and to lead.
Accentuate consists of 15 ambitious projects which represent the arts, film, tourism, business, sport and heritage. All 15 projects aim to promote the talent of deaf and disabled people in whatever area they work in.
Creative Junction are honoured to be delivering the following projects:
At the end of 2010 Collaborations! was merged with Accentuate project 'Commission and Celebrate' to form a new project for 2011 and 2012 called ‘Starting Line – Outdoor Commission’
These projects also form part of our Create Compete Collaborate ambition

The inspiration for Accentuate is the Paralympic Movement.
This movement started at Stoke Mandeville hospital in Buckinghamshire and this is the unique heritage for the South East. The home for Accentuate is Screen South, based at their offices in Folkestone. The scale and ambition of Accentuate means it is necessary to work with a variety of partner organisations who are delivering the 15 projects and Creative Junction were commissioned to deliver the projects that connect with young people.
Accentuate believes disabled people must be at the heart of everything we do.
Our View helps to ensure this happens. Our View is a diverse group of talented deaf and disabled people. The Our View Core Group acts strategically as an internal steering group. Our View Project People have direct relationships with individual projects. Creative Junction connect with the young people who are Our View representatives.
