The Ark, Dublin
Date: 1 March 2025

Join musician Dafe Orugbo for a practical CPD workshop for teachers at the Ark, Dublin where you’ll explore how music can strengthen cultural bonds and help students feel more in control of their learning.

In this hands-on session, teachers and educators will pick up a variety of practical skills to connect with their students through the creation and listening of new music. By using music as a tool for class participation, you’ll learn how to tap into the cultural touchstones that matter most to your students, helping them feel seen and heard. Plus, it gives students the chance to take the lead in the classroom, which can be empowering—especially when they might otherwise feel out of their comfort zone. This approach lets kids engage in an experience that resonates with their interests, while giving teachers a chance to connect with their students in a shared way.

It’s an opportunity to rethink how we use music as a tool for creativity, connection, and agency in the classroom. Suitable for all levels of experience.

In this CPD workshop for teachers, you will;
