Soundcastle CPD - The Art Of Facilitation In Community Music And Educational Contexts

Soundcastle are offering a practical CPD session to explore “The Art of Facilitation in Community Music and Educational Contexts”.

Would you like to enable others to express their true identity through creative music-making? Whether you are an educator, musician or animateur, this CPD session will broaden your skills of creative facilitation with diverse groups of people and work on personal tools to continue developing your own, unique leadership approach.

Using practical activities from the Youth Music funded Musical Beacons toolkit, this CPD session will enable you to immediately put your skills of facilitation into action on the day itself and receive constructive feedback from the Soundcastle team as well as follow up support. The primary focus of the CPD is to introduce the following ideas:

How to create an inclusive, focused and trusting group energy
How to enhance communication skills in your team and yourself
How to work creatively with mixed ages
How to discover and explore ideas through sounds
How to facilitate expressing identity and enable self-expression in creative music-making
Group reflection and feedback

It gives us great pleasure to share the Soundcastle approach and we hope to welcome you on the 7th February.
