The Scottish Music EDIA Manifesto and Action Framework is intended to turn shared principles into practical action.
Our programme of workshops, conversations and learning sessions explores how equity, diversity, inclusion and accessibility can be embedded across everyday work in Scotland’s music industry.
Sessions are designed for people working across the sector, including organisations, freelancers and independent practitioners.
Each event focuses on a specific area of practice and provides space to learn, reflect and consider how the ideas can be applied within your own context.
