I participated in Music for Change’s excellent course 2 weeks ago. Much thanks and gratitude to Donna and her team’s work!
It was great to meet all the participants, facilitators and creative practitioners - really inspiring! The more people I meet who are directly involved in creative social change the more I’m convinced that this is my path. And it’s great to see proof of it working, to experience it, and to be inspired to create more myself.
The workshops also proved to be a mine of information; finding out about funding, other organisations, networking, games and lots of interesting ideas about creative curriculum.
I’ve since used some of the ideas in a beatboxing songwriting workshop for the teenagers in my youth club - it went down well!
