Where disability belongs
What is the Pelican Project?
Young people of all abilities and backgrounds have the potential to make a vital contribution to their communities. Here at The Pelican Project, we don’t just provide, we take; take skills, passions and experience and help share these where it can make a difference.
We are currently working with young adults with learning disabilities and from mainstream settings, care providers, supported-living homes, enablers, families, artists and cultural venues in and around Exeter to create a thriving and diverse network, or flock as we like to say.
Our journey
One year ago, we set out on a journey without really knowing where we would to end up. However, we knew with certainty that our core members creative energy would lead us toward improving Exeter’s Arts and Culture scene. In this experimental, risky and unchartered territory, we were proved right at every turn. Here we present a brief overview of our activities over the past 18 months that that have delivered us to a clear vision of how we want to develop our work and how we can raise the profile of our core members as valuable contributors to Arts and Culture across the city.
