Shamiela Ahmed
Today I went to the UnLtd office at Floodgate Street to talk about Connect Culture progress with Shamiela Ahmed, Development Manager. UnLtd has a really nice office but walking there from New Street Station took longer than what was expected than the 10 mins given by google map. We had trouble finding our way because the streets were not clearly marked.
Another appointment there was with Andy Stowe who is the Senior European Policy Advisor. I am, with others, looking at the possibility of bringing a group of disabled young people to London. This is just a germination stage/ opportunity for the moment. Andy was very helpful in giving advice. We will have to get a sponsor and think of some partners.
There are also some interesting exchange visits one can do as an individual. We were invited to look at the the transversal.org.uk website. There are certainly some good opportunities but I was hoping to find one with accessibility and/or in the hospitality environment in the catalogue but no luck so far..
