Sounding Board: YSWN Community Conversations

Yorkshire Sound Women Network (YSWN) was founded in 2015 by women working in the sound technology industry who wanted to use their skills and influence to address gender and racial inequality. Our mission is to support a flourishing industry which welcomes, encourages and progresses the inclusion of women at all levels from studio floor to board room, and reflects the diversity of its participating communities.

Yorkshire Sound Women Network

An open meeting for women* in audio to share needs and strategies in response to the coronavirus pandemic and help shape YSWN's future work.

<a href="https://yorkshiresoundwomen.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Yorkshire Sound Women Network</a> (YSWN) is a community interest company founded by women working in the sound technology industry who want to address gender and racial inequality. Like many organisations, we are keenly aware of the challenges experienced by our community and all those working in sound and music as a result of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. These range from loss of gigs, contracts and income, to reduced opportunities to meet, skill-share and collaborate with likeminded people.We have been looking at ways to adapt and deliver YSWN activities in light of the pandemic and want to hear from our community about their needs at this time, and how YSWN can best support women (including trans women and people of marginalised genders) in audio.We warmly invite you to join us for an online conversation where you will be able to share your current experience and needs, as well as any strategies and solutions you have found effective: • What specific challenges have you faced as a result of COVID-19?• What would help your interest/career in audio to progress at this current time? • Do you have thoughts about how this network in particular might be able to help?The findings of the meeting will inform YSWN funding applications to support the community.The meeting will take place over Zoom and will be facilitated by YSWN co-director Jo Kennedy. Registered attendees can access a Zoom link and password on Eventbrite's online event page before the event.This is an open meeting and we welcome both existing members of the YSWN community who have taken part in our events and activities, and those who are interested in connecting with us and sharing experiences. We work with all those who identify as women, including trans women and people of marginalised genders.Please note: in order to ensure as many as possible can attend, two meetings are being held, on 23 and 25 June. Both are the same format so please choose which one is more convenient for you. Details of the other meeting can be found here: <a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/108970918952">https://www.eventbrite.com/e/108970918952</a>
