In 2008 SV2G delivered a Steelpan in Education project supported by Arts Council England South East. Four SV2G tutors were able to experience intensive training on the steelpan syllabus from the University of West Indies (UWI) in Trinidad and Tobago and also attended workshops at Pamberi Steel Orchestra pan theatre (pan yard) in Trinidad. The link with UWI continues, allowing ongoing professional development for SV2G tutors and  for Wycombe Steel Orchestra members to pass graded steelpan examinations.
