List of activities

In 2019-2020, we invited our Partners around the world to complete a survey so we can understand more about the impact of their initial music trainings and in 2021 we created a report based on their responses. We shared the report with our international Partners, which we also translated into 6 local languages spoken by many of our Partners (Romanian, Arabic, Kinyarwanda, Georgian, Amharic and Burmese).

A translated version of our ‘Adults with Learning Disabilities Musical Activities’ and our ‘Interactive Music-Making for People Living with Dementia’ resources were shared with our Romanian Partners.

A translated version of our ‘Children with Disabilities Musical Activities’ resource was shared with our Georgian Partners. Also music therapist and Advisory Panel member, Jenny Laahs, provided supervision for 3 music sessions ran by a Local Partner.
