The eleventh batch of the Arts Practices for Inclusion™ (API) course marks another important milestone in the growing journey of API ecosystem expansion across India, following successful cohorts in India, Nepal, and Sri Lanka. Supported by Bajaj Finserv, this special Maharashtra cohort brings together 20 participants from 11 organizations across Mumbai and Pune who work with persons with disabilities across diverse settings.

Through this year-long experiential programme, participants will engage with the philosophy and methodology of Arts Practices for Inclusion™, exploring the use of visual arts, music, movement, play, and drama to create more inclusive and person-centred spaces. The cohort represents a significant step towards strengthening arts-based inclusive practices within the disability sector in Maharashtra.
