Event page - Sandpit Resources

Over the course of the Sandpit attendees had the opportunity to connect and talk with others with an interest in the human voice and explore how you might work together to make a difference in this area. The Sandpit brought together different perspectives and expertise to develop new ideas. The final stage was to pitch a project idea to the YorVoice steering committee, who had funding available to resource projects that support the YorVoice objectives.

The slides and recordings of the talks can be found in the resources section
