The theme for 2018 is Inspiring Curiosity: Celebrating Diverse Voices of Community Music and the programme will be framed around the following three streams.
Theme One: Tradition, Locality, and Cultural Identity We are interested in similarities and differences among our multiple cultural community music practices and about independence and self-empowerment through folk music. We encourage country-specific explorations of how community music in that place has evolved over time, and the different events (cultural, political, educational) that have influenced this. This theme provides support for the CMA to continue mapping the historical antecedents and pathways of community music around the world. |
Theme Two: Partnerships and Social Cohesion
Where are the unlikely alliances, the curious relationships that surprise and change the way that we think and respond to context? What community music practices support social cohesion? What practices have the potential to damage social cohesion? How can community music support change? How is policy developed, funding secured, and power relationships negotiated?
Theme Three: Well-being, Health, and Human Rights
Can we test our foundational principle that community music engages the participant in health, wholeness, and wellbeing? The right to education, a safety net, free speech, and security – how do these human needs exist in international communities? To what extent have we been given the permission to challenge the local (family and political) directions? What is our role in these times of crisis, major social transitions and upheaval?
The full programme will be available early in 2018.
