Our Fellows are getting one on one and group voice coaching to help them get the most of their unique voice, and take care of it too. Here's a clip of an online session with Vocal Coach @amandamabro

VERSIONS Fellowship mentor and transformational coach @T Keaton-Woods facilitated a time management workshop for the fellows. They learned to prioritize tasks, manage projects and set boundaries for themselves and with others.

#Climatechange as a global topic has been discussed for decades now. But how is the music industry negatively adding to this issue, and what can be done about it?

It’s #Thanksgiving in Canada, so today we’re focusing on #GRATITUDE. First and foremost, for our VERSIONS Fellows - but also for the amazing group of artists, educators, volunteers, partners, and community orgs helping us to support them.

Content warning: residential schools
From 2017-2019 Darkspark had the honour of traveling to the far reaches of Canada, learning about the brutal colonial history of this country first hand from elders, youth and community. Those stories humbled us, and haunt us still.

Today is the #NationalDayForTruthAndReconciliation in Canada. A day that encourages people to honour lives lost and learn more about residential schools and other colonial atrocities in Canada. Have you?

Today, and everyday, we’re thinking about these kids, this amazing community and the beautiful people we worked with during #thefourdirectionsproject who shared so much with us - and others - through their stories, songs and spirit.
