Open to people at all levels of experience, these workshops are aimed at facilitators currently working, or looking to work, within informal, creative and inclusive music practice.
They’ll be especially useful for anyone interested in supporting young people’s mental health and wellbeing through music.
Youth workers or mental health practitioners with an interest in music are also welcome to attend.
