Accentuate

3 years to create a cultural shift...

CCC is delivering 6 groundbreaking projects through the Accentuate programme. Accentuate is a transformational programme of 15 projects, which seeks to change perceptions and offer opportunities to showcase the talents of deaf and disabled people. Inspired by our proud heritage of Stoke Mandeville as the birthplace of the Paralympic movement. Accentuate has 1000 days to create a cultural shift. Screen South is the home of Accentuate. Accentuate is funded by Legacy Trust UK, an independent charity set up to create a cultural and sporting legacy from the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games across the UK. Other funding bodies include SEEDA and the regional cultural agencies.

Accentuate will deliver its 15 projects through five outcomes. These are:

That every young disabled person in the South East has the opportunity to create, compete or collaborate with a young person in another country during the lead up to the Olympic and Paralympic Games.
That the South East becomes the most welcoming and accessible region for disabled people in the UK.
That the South East region is recognised as a lead region in the UK for disability and deaf cultural activity and as an international centre of excellence.
That the South East's role as the birthplace of the Paralympic movement at Stoke Mandeville is recognised by the world and that its historic archive and the individual histories of Paralympian athletes alongside the impact of the movement itself is explored by artists, and young people in the South East.
That people across the South East have raised awareness of and are inspired by the values of personal best, going for gold and excellence and are offered strategies to help them to adopt these values in their own lives.
