AccessCBC is a national CBC initiative for Deaf and disabled creators. The program is designed to support creators through training, mentorship, and financing support, with programming streams that have included scripted comedy/drama, unscripted, kids, and podcasts.
CBC is collaborating with the Disability Screen Office on the initiative, supporting pathways for Deaf and disabled creators and encouraging more accessible and inclusive content creation across the Canadian screen sector.
This opportunity may be a fit for Deaf and disabled creators looking to develop projects, build industry connections, and access mentorship and support through a national broadcaster.
