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.

Local Partner, Samar Andoni, a social worker from the Evangelical Lutheran Schools received help from music therapist and Advisory Panel member, Hazel Childs, to prepare her to deliver a training and share her skills of using music with other teachers in the schools.

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.

The pilot phase of Music Helps, our music in dementia care online training tool in India. This course was developed by music therapist and Advisory Panel member, Nina Cherla, in response to a project request from Pavithra Gangadharan, Founder of Kshetra Assisted Living by Heritage ElderCare Services Pvt. Ltd, to help make music an integral part of dementia care provision across care facilities and homes in India.
