Building Safer Traditional Music & Piping Communities
Workshop by The BIT Collective and the Maket Collective at Piping Live
Venue: The National Piping Centre
Join this fascinating discussion designed for men.
Join the BIT Collective and Maket Collective for a presentation and panel discussion exploring the barriers that women and gender minorities face in traditional music and piping, from under-representation to harassment and abuse. Designed predominantly for men who want to better understand these experiences, this event will offer practical insights into active allyship and how we can all contribute to creating safer, more inclusive communities.
You will need a Festival Site Ticket to see this event.
