Touretteshero’s Radical Reading Group - 10am - 1pm

Friday 16th May

A disabled-led company called Touretteshero is running an event as part of the Festival of Debate , a non-partisan programme of events during April and May across South Yorkshire.

Touretteshero’s Radical Reading group is a free event at the Crucible Theatre.

Join Touretteshero for a reading group with a radical twist as they take a well-known academic text and make it available in different accessible formats including audio, British Sign Language and Easy Read. A Visual Story using words and pictures to explain what to expect will be sent to you before the event.

If you’re a disabled, neurodivergent or chronically ill person with an interest in connecting to ideas in different ways, you’ll go through the paper together, discuss the ideas and think about how the work can be shared with others.

More details of the event, including how to book, can be on the Festival of Debate website

The full Festival of Debate Programme includes details of speakers, events, venues and venue accessibility.

Disability Sheffield is a forward-thinking, energetic organisation doing a lot of positive work in Sheffield. I have no doubt they will continue to do so for a long time to come.

A fantastic presentation thought provoking and good questions from the floor around promoting this film/message to the general public not just professionals.

When I moved to Sheffield nearly five years ago it was my "go to" organisation. I expect it to stay that way. All the staff and volunteers seem to pull out little gems of effort that disabled people like me couldn't do without. Professionally and personally - I love em :)
