ISME Commission on Policy: Culture, Education and Media Pre-Conference Seminar 2024 - Call for Papers |
|
PURPOSE
The purpose for the 36th World Conference is to recogonise that music education has a crucial role in advancing the wellbeing 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 of advancing resilient societies and ecosystems? And how could we ensure equitable access to music learning opportunities and participation within the wide variety of musics? The 36th World Conference, with the theme Advocacy for sustainability in music education, 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.
The purpose of the Policy Commission Seminar is to bring together scholars from around to world to examine and explore issues concerning culture, education, and media policy development and implementation. We do this by providing participants the opportunity to share their research and scholarly work in presentations and discussions. In the current global political climate, opportunities for scholars and experts to engage with each other are vital for the continued growth and understanding of the intersections of policy and music education.
