ISME Pre-Conference Seminars 2024
Part of the 36th ISME World Conference, Helsinki, Finland
28-Jul-2024 to 02-Aug-2024
28-Jul-2024 to 02-Aug-2024
ISME is very pleased to announce that the 36th ISME World Conference will be held in Helsinki with the generous support of the Sibelius Academy, UniArts.
In parallel, as each of ISME's eight commissions typically hosts a pre-conference seminar just prior to each biennial ISME World Conference, the commissions will conduct their own pre-conference seminars that will offer members opportunities to explore a specialised area in greater depth than might otherwise be possible. Through these seminars, ISME members share mutual interests and gather, collate and disseminate information on developments in their specialised fields within music education. These seminars are popular for being more accessible, close-knit and less intimidating than the vast ocean that is the main world conference.
The theme for the 2024 ISME World Conference is: Advocacy for Sustainability in Music Education
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 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.
ISME's eight Pre-Conference Seminars hope to examine this theme through the prism of their individual lenses. We look forward to welcoming music educators from around the world to the ISME Pre- Conference Seminars 2024 which are being held throughout Finland (Helsinki, Jyväskylä and Espoo) as well as in nearby Tallin, Estonia.
