Accessible Public Transport Comp! #MovingOn

Do you spend much of your time dreaming about how you would make public transport accessible? What would you create or change?

If you are disabled and under 25, now is the time to share your thoughts.

 

Connect Culture, a community group of Coventry, has launched a video competition for young and disabled people, thanks to a grant from the Big Lottery Fund. In a short video of 5 x 5 seconds the competitors have to show their opinions, ideas and dreams about the accessibility of public transport. 

 

 

The nominated entrees will be screened at the event ‘Moving On, accessible transport the past, present and future.’ This event will take place in Coventry Transport Museum on the 23^rd and 24^th of November and will bring together users of public transport with policy makers, designers, and experts in a round table discussion.

 

During the event the Transport Museum will be exhibiting several vehicles from the Museum’s collection alongside a display about the history of road transport for disabled people. 

Disabled people up to 25 can enter the competition on their own or as a joint production. The skills level needed is basic; the only equipment you need is a mobile phone with a camera function. Visit http://moat2013.org.uk/video-challenge/ for examples and guidance through the process.
