Online Project
This three-part online project addresses the impact of rapid social, economic, and technological changes on younger professionals in the arts. Based on recent research by Tonic and Central School of Speech & Drama, this series will highlight ways arts organisations can foster inclusion for younger colleagues, benefiting all age groups. Sessions run from March to June with tasks and activities between each half-day Zoom meeting.

“I absolutely love it! Definitely the highlight in my calendar each time the opportunity comes round for us all to gather as a group.”

“The sessions have helped me keep EDI work at the centre of my focus and carve out time and space to think deeply about it. Halfway through the year, my confidence in taking EDI work forward has increased enormously.”
