Ethics and inclusion in the education of professional musicians
Online seminar - July 29 – 31, 2020
in association with the
University of Oulu & Oulu University of Applied Sciences (Oulu, Finland)
The purpose of the 34th ISME World Conference 2020 is to foster global understanding and cooperation among the world's music educators, by strengthening ties and sharing ideas about different aspects and issues within music education, in ways that promote music education for people of all ages throughout the world. Given the current global reality, the conference theme Visions of Equity and Diversity is a timely reminder of music’s power to unite our humanity while respecting our differences. The conference theme encourages opportunities for dialogue and international collaborations that are thought-provoking and innovative, and that place equity and diversity at the heart of music education scholarship and practices world-wide.
Overview
The CEPROM Pre-Conference Seminar will explore how arts institutions and individual musicians can foster inclusion, sustainability and equity in and through their musical practices. The arts can be understood to have enormous potential to increase hope, tolerance and empathy in the world of wicked problems, such as ecological crises and social injustice. However, this potential can only be fully realized when the education of the professional musician is underpinned by a commitment to ethical responsibility and the practice and policy of inclusivity. During the seminar, we will discuss issues related to diversity and inclusion by investigating how we might impart high ethical values and practices in music education and prepare students to become ethically acting musicians and music educators working for the benefit of humanity and the earth. We will consider broad viewpoints across this theme.
