Situation
The Covid-19 pandemic has had a huge impact on children’s mental health, wellbeing, learning and happiness. Music's transformative benefits for children's confidence, wellbeing and education are important in tackling this. However, thousands are denied creative experiences as 68% of primary school teachers report 'music provision is being reduced', and 'extra-curricular activities are no longer taking place in 72% of primary schools' compounding the 21% cut in music provision in state schools.
Solution
ETO will create four new bespoke operas for children and young people with SEND, bringing participatory music, up-close interactive story-telling, multi-sensory elements and cross-curricular learning resources into schools across London and the UK. ETO will create two new series of digital workshops for children with SEND, exploring Makaton signing, breathing, movement and singing, in a fun creative session that breaks down accessibility barriers, reaching thousands of children directly at home.
