Event for Learning Disabled Adults
Imagine what it would be like to live in a truly inclusive place. Join our free workshops and then come and explore the new world you help create.
Spare Tyre in association with Just Jones
What would it feel like to live in a truly inclusive place? Designed with you, not for you. Not just bricks and mortar, but also the values and the rules.
Find out in We Will Be Happy Here, our new multi-sensory experience that opens for learning disabled adults, both in-person and online, in August 2021.
We’re creating it with our friends from Bangladeshi Parents and Carers Association in Bethnal Green.
See below for information on how to book to visit between August 16 and 20.
The Experience
We Will Be Happy Here is a multi-sensory project of music, sights, sounds and tactile stimuli made with and for learning disabled people. It can be experienced online or in-person by one social bubble time at a time.
In workshops, we’ll explore with you what you think makes somewhere a good place to live and can be enjoyed by all its residents.
We’ll then take you on an hour-long journey through the place that you have helped shape. Then, with our “tour guides” to help, you get to create your own version of HERE and share it with other people who will come after and pass on their ideas.
HERE isn’t stuck in tradition.
HERE is constantly reinventing and finding new solutions and new possibilities.
HERE is where you can be yourself, real or imaginary, present, future, past.
Who knows where you could end up?
