SPINNIN’ WOMEN is a mentorship program, in partnership with Radioactive.FM, designed for 16 - 18 year old, female-identifying people who have an interest in music, media and engaging with the arts. It is a 6 week course, designed to engage young women in a practical learning environment that would otherwise be inaccessible through other avenues. Using the Radioactive.FM studio, I have crafted a curriculum to give these students an experiential view of what goes into hosting a radio show, while also engaging them through specific learning outcomes to do with ethnomusicology, musical culture and identity, and music curation. The course also features many wonderful female mentors from throughout Wellington's vibrant music scene, who have real industry experience to pass onto the younger generation of music or media enthusiasts. The mentors and students will be paired in a unique, one-on-one environment to directly facilitate their learning and understanding.
