Music and Social Justice Network: A guide to community consultation, collaboration and co-design
At our last Music and Social Justice Network meeting we focused on co-design and collaboration with communities. We questioned what these buzzwords actually mean, who our communities are, how we go about making appropriate relationships with them, making sure we take the time to establish these relationships, as well as questioning the sort of language we use. We were delighted to have Toby Laurent Belson, a community organiser and professional artist/designer, come in and share some of his experiences with us. Click here > to see our resource created from the session summarising our key takeaways. (We are always working towards making our work more accessible so please find this resource in an easy read format.)
