Last week, Shelley Cowan from BB Merchant Services attended and spoke at the Inclusive Creativity Symposium in Belfast.
The event brought together creatives and technologists to explore how inclusion can be embedded across the creative industries.
Drawing on nearly three decades of advocacy and lived experience, Shelley shared practical insight on building sustainable, inclusive change.
Reflecting on the day, Shelley said:
“Studio Ulster – RENDR Festival was an incredible experience, it was great to hear inclusion being prioritised within creative industries. Fantastic work is being done in the sector. A key takeaway was that inclusion can be achieved through interdependence. When everyone works together, more impactful and meaningful outcomes are possible.”
