Emily’s poster - Gender-Inclusive voice lessons: Can we do better? - explores how small adaptions can be made to teaching spaces to make pupils feel seen, respected, safe and welcome and feel a sense of ‘ambient belonging’ before they even start working with their voice. On Monday 1st July, Emily will deliver a short introductory presentation before being stood with her poster for a two-hour period of discussion. You can find out more about it here.

Congratulations, Emily!
