Introduction to the WIRED Toolkit: Strategies for gender inclusive learning

Discover how to make music technology learning more welcoming for girls, young women and minority gender young people.
About this Event

Join YSWN Director Dr Eddie Dobson and WIRED Project Coordinator Chelsey Everatt to discover the findings from independent research undertaken as part of Yorkshire Sound Women Network’s WIRED education project (funded by Youth Music).

The session will offer insights into engagement in music technology learning amongst girls, women and people of minority genders, and will introduce the WIRED Toolkit; a set of resources including strategies for educators to support gender-inclusive learning environments, recommendations for policy change and testimonies from research participants as to the blocks and barriers they have faced in their learning and careers in audio.

Hosted via Zoom, this webinar is ideal for teachers, music leaders, Music Hub teams, and anyone with an interest in developing gender inclusive learning in their music technology setting. You'll leave the session with ideas and resources to make real change in your classroom or setting.
