Inclusive events: solutions for organisers
To make cultural events truly accessible to everyone, several organisations specialise in inclusion and accessibility for Deaf and hard of hearing audiences and, more broadly, for people with disabilities.
10 Doigts en Cavale, known for its expertise in music sign language and its unique approach to accessible concerts, regularly works alongside complementary partners such as Inclusiv'Events and Quest'Handi.
Each brings its own skills to create immersive, inclusive and meaningful events for all audiences.
1) Inclusiv'Events: events designed for the inclusion of all
Inclusiv'Events specialises in universal accessibility for events, offering
solutions adapted to people with disabilities.
It offers a wide range of services to ensure the accessibility of
events with its partners AMAAC, MIETE and PAIPS (Universal Accessibility Pack).
Their offer includes:
● Accessibility assessments to evaluate the specific needs of venues.
● Advice and support for event organisers.
● Training and awareness sessions for reception staff, stage managers and
security staff
● Training in accessible communication and FALC (Easy to Read and
Understand)
● Accessible reception and inclusive bar services with LSF mediation, the
Com'NOUS communication app and FALC materials
● Adapted equipment such as vibrating floors and vests, tactile and
audio maps, and CAU-mobility accessible routes, among others
These services aim to create inclusive experiences adapted to as many
participants as possible.
By putting inclusion at the heart of its work, lnclusiv'Events makes a
significant contribution to creating a world where every person, whatever their abilities, can
take full and equal part in community life.

2) Quest'Handi: making access easier and raising awareness of the needs of people with disabilities
Quest'Handi is an association created in 2008, whose main mission is to
promote the accessibility and inclusion of people with disabilities at
cultural and sports events.
Quest'Handi brings together professionals and volunteers, and offers event organisers
who want to improve the accessibility of their events:
• Personalised support from an accessibility professional, including,
among other things, an assessment and advice
• Awareness sessions for volunteer teams
• Training for professional teams
• Adapted equipment (Lomo wheel, Mobile Connect, induction loops, Subpacs,
audio description headsets, charging station)
• A wide network of expert partners in FALC (Easy to Read and
Understand), audio description, French Sign Language, etc.
Accessibility solutions are now varied and adapted to the specific needs of cultural events. Organisers have access to resources and services that allow them to make their events inclusive and welcoming for everyone.
From accessibility assessments to staff training and adapted technologies, it is possible to turn an event into an accessible and enriching experience.
It is essential that organisers know about these solutions to make sure every participant can fully enjoy the cultural experience.
By putting these practices in place, they help create a fairer and more equal environment, supporting diversity and inclusion in the world of events.
