    Singing and neurodiversity

    Dive into the transformative power of music through the lens of neurodiversity! Join experts Abigail Mann-Daraz and Alice Nicholls as they unravel the complex world of inclusive singing, bringing their personal experiences and professional insights to the forefront. This episode explores how music can be a profound healing tool for neurodivergent young people, challenging traditional notions of 'normal' and celebrating the unique voices that often go unheard. Drawing from their own lived experiences with neurodivergence, these specialists reveal the critical intersection of mental health, music, and self-expression. Discover how singing can become more than just a skill—it's a pathway to connection, understanding, and personal empowerment for young people navigating the challenges of neurodivergence.

    Singing with young refugees and unaccompanied minors

    Flight from conflict, together with complex challenges integrating into a new country, takes an enormous toll on the mental health of displaced young people. And yet singing and music making have a unique way to cut through and create safe spaces for them to connect and experience joy. We hear from trainer and practitioner Jim Pinchen (Surrey Arts) and from Dr Hala Jaber from University of Limerick, from whom Sing Up Foundation have commissioned a new report into singing for displaced young people. As discussed in this episode, you can now download our new research report - Then the Dream Started to be More: Singing with Refugees and Unaccompanied Minors.
