Our Conference & Toolkit Launch

Join us for a free conference sharing what the Singing Side By Side team have found from our MARCH Network Plus supported research study and practitioner action-research with group singing leaders on how we can make all singing groups more inclusive especially around mental health.

We'll also be launching our new open toolkit for singing group leaders.

Through the afternoon there will be:

  • Talks from the researchers involved (University of Derby, University of Edinburgh, University of Glasgow, Royal College of Music, Science Ceilidh)

  • A panel with the practitioner action researchers from singing groups working with diverse groups from Western Isles to Wales.

  • Space for Discussions and Breakouts

  • Performances and Networking Opportunities

All interested in the topic - from group singers, leaders and facilitators, practitioners, stakeholders, researchers and anyone else - very welcome!

Register for your free place now. The conference will be recorded and these will be shared to those who are registered afterwards, and you are welcome to tweet #SingSideBySide
