NYMAZ SEND Music Network Gathering
Event description
NYMAZ is delighted to present its annual SEND Music Network Gathering this March, hosting it online with a vibrant and packed programme across five days.
Join us for an inspiring week that will feature a range of practical CPD workshops, alongside interactive panel discussions and presentations on elements of the HEARD model, the Social Model of Disability and Youth Voice within SEND.
The programme will offer insights into excellent practice when making music with children with Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities, as well as providing the opportunity to network with others in the sector through our free drop-in ‘positivi-tea’ sessions.
The event is open to all who are working with (or interested in learning more about working with) children and young people with Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities. You might be a music practitioner, workshop leader, classroom teacher, part of an arts organisation, a student or a freelance practitioner. Everyone is welcome!
