Finding Your Voice

We invite you to join us and sing your heart out!

Finding Your Voice is a 7-day residential training course brought to you by Poleth Community HUB. The training course aims to explore using one’s voice through singing and other vocal methods as a platform for youth participation and activism.

Finding Your Voice will explore the benefits of singing both as a youth tool and methodology. Participants will develop a great understanding of how to utilise singing and vocal expression to build self-confidence, positive self-esteem, teamwork, problem solving, and cultural expression. Participants will have the opportunity to dive into the power and influence of the ‘protest song’. Understanding how we can use singing and vocal expression as an opportunity to promote our, and young people’s, democratic and political voice. Developing you into competent youth workers who can work with a range of young people coming from different backgrounds relating to them all as individuals, and safely and securely teaching them how to find their VOICE!

Finding Your Voice will take place in Scotland, UK, in the dark sky town of Moffat, which is 50 miles south of Edinburgh. The venue is The Well Road Centre, a large Victorian building, which was once a boarding school, and now hosts trainings, events, youth groups and other events. The training runs from the 7th-14th June 2022 with participants from ITALY, GREECE, SPAIN, HUNGARY, CZECH REPUBLIC, IRELAND, and the UK.

Please don’t worry if you feel like you don’t have a “nice singing voice” or think you “can’t sing”. You can! It’s part of being human! We welcome all applications and are not basing our selection of participants on singing ability. We want to hear your voice!
