Co-analysis begins exploring music for social connection
In collaboration with the Creative Change Project team, Micah Projects and Community+ West End Community House have worked to analyse rich data gathered from two projects on music for social connection.
The data analysis explored how participation in music impacts social justice, addressing social isolation and inclusion for the wellbeing of all. Preliminary thoughts have been shared, with more to come as out puts develop throughout 2024 and 2025.
A big thanks to our Creative Change Project Research Fellow Dr Emma Heard and PhD candidate Joel Spence, and the amazing team Jenny “Pineapple” Martinelli, Sam Eyles, Katie McGuire, Kylie Deen and Robyn Le Broque.
