International Women’s day & Pancakes!

I really don’t need any excuse for pancakes – jam & ice-cream are sounding good to me!  Anyway here are a few things that caught my eye today.

The UN theme for International Women’s Day for 2011 is “Equal access to education, training and science and technology: Pathway to decent work for women”. Thinking about this in relation to our work, if we remove the word ‘science’ then the theme is entirely fitting in terms of the aims and objectives of the MusicLeader programme. Equal access to professional development is vital to ensure we are able to keep our approach music making activity with children and young people fresh and creative! Let us know your thoughts...

On another note, the PRS Foundation has launched a new grant today to coincide with international women's day, its called “Women Make Music” The maximum you can apply for is £5000.

Finally back to those pancakes – I just read this how to guide – I might give this a go this evening – last time I made pancakes they ended up rather stodgy... here are some filling suggestions just in case - Enjoy!
