The 36th ISME World Conference returns to Helsinki and will be hosted at the Sibelius Academy from the end of July through the beginning of August.
The theme of the Conference is: Advocacy for sustainability in music education Music education has a crucial role in advancing the well-being of the individual, community and society. The uncertain times further highlight the importance of envisioning, exploring and advocating for the many opportunities music education can offer for enhancing a sense of belonging, equity and inclusion as well as ecological sustainability. What can we learn from the other arts, Indigenous traditions and past and emerging musical practices around the world in our efforts to advance resilient societies and ecosystems? And how could we ensure equitable access to music learning opportunities and participation within the wide variety of music? The 36th World Conference provides a platform that invites music educators and other stakeholders to ask novel questions, imagine ways forward and create new partnerships for change. The conference will open avenues to explore a sphere of possibilities for pursuing and advocating for sustainability in and through music education.
d@rts will present at the conference with a poster presentation.
