We are additionally grateful to The Boston Foundation for providing crucial support to increase our capacity to host all of these individuals.
The Taiko Community Alliance and Women and Taiko invite you to join us (digitally) on Wednesday, March 18 for a webinar on Taiko & COVID-19: Sharing Experiences and Information from the Taiko Community.
With a rapidly evolving international response to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, countries around the world are taking steps to slow the spread. The cancellation of public events, school closures, strong recommendations of social distancing, and in some locations mandated isolation are all measures that have greatly impacted the arts and culture sector, and our everyday lives.
This is a time to share experiences and resources, as well as learn from and support one another. As a means of surfacing key issues we are facing as a community, we will share information and experiences through presentations from community leaders, and opportunities will be provided for participants to ask questions and share comments, as time permits.
Please Note: Registration is necessary to gain access and will allow us to plan accordingly and ensure capacity for everyone who intends to join in.
This webinar will be recorded and posted on taikocommunityallicance.org and womenandtaiko.org immediately following the event. Any questions, please reach out to derek@taikocommunityalliance.org or karensusanyoung@gmail.com
