Abstract
This roundtable is chaired by Aaron Williamon and brings together Andrew Davidson (University of Surrey), Joan Duda (University of Birmingham), and Angela Pickard (Canterbury Christchurch University) to address the following questions from their own experience: Are there any specific situations that require social support in performing arts education? What are the avenues through which this social support might be provided? Are there any challenges related to providing social support in performing arts education? If so, how might these be overcome? Healthy Conservatoires aims to inspire the creation of educational and professional environments that promote health and wellbeing. The Network provides a forum where members can engage with innovation and evidence-informed practice, as well as access peer support in creating and maintaining healthy conditions for studying and working.
