Embedding The Inclusive Mindset — Online Conference Programme
The South West Music Hubs have been working together to produce an online programme of content around the theme of “Embedding the Inclusive Mindset”.
On Monday 8 January 2024, the conference launches with two videos from the Youth Voice Network, which also include downloadable audio podcast versions.
Matt Brombley, Chair of the EDI Working Group, shares:
“We want to provide a place where music leaders, teachers and young people can share their experiences of embedding inclusive practice with others, so that across the south west region, we can all learn from each other, and young people themselves, as we work towards making music education more inclusive.
We want the videos shared to be the start of a conversation, and each area in the region will be sharing content with their music education workforce in ways which work for them, encouraging them to learn from others, and share their response back in Spring/Summer 2024.”
The aims for this programme are:
To improve the workforces’ skills, knowledge, understanding, and confidence in engaging, and responding to, the voices of young people
To improve equality, diversity and inclusion practices in participating Music Education Hubs
This work is being enabled by funding from Youth Music, awarded to the South West Coastal Hub Alliance.
