Jessie’s Fund 30th Anniversary Conference – Building the Way Forward Together
Join us in celebrating three decades of transformative work in using music with children and young people with life limiting illness and/or SEND and looking to the future of practice. It will be an opportunity to reflect, share and discuss best practice in giving children a voice through music.
Highlights of the day’s programme will include a warm musical welcome Jessie’s Fund style (be prepared to join in!), a reflection on 30 years of Jessie’s Fund, and an inspiring keynote address by Charles Hazlewood, Artistic Director of the Paraorchestra. Delegates will then participate in their choice of three insightful parallel discussion sessions: personal development for practitioners; core methodology and innovations in using music to support communication; and advances in music technology. In another session we will discuss the need to develop the skills of young musicians in this field and showcase an example initiative with the RNCM. We are also delighted to be hosting the launch of a new book edited by Vicky Kammin and Julie Russell: ‘Music Therapy in Children’s Palliative Care: Collaborative Family and Practitioner Voices’.
The day is designed to be participatory, and attendees will have plenty of time to enjoy networking opportunities, to talk with colleagues and collaborators, and share their reflections on practice.
