This is a call for pre-conference of the IVMTC in collaboration with the MHW SIG. We invite your submission in the frame of the following aims and foci.
PURPOSE
The purpose of the 36th ISME World Conference 2024 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 Advocacy for sustainability in music education 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.

Presenters who wish to serve as respondents should express their interest to the chairs of the IVMTC and the SIG with subject line “IVMTC 2024 pre-conference respondent.” It is expected that responses will be up to 10 minutes in length in order to leave time for dialogue and exchange of opinions among participants.

4. SYMPOSIA
Symposia will consist of a set of integrated spoken papers related to a theme. Organized symposia sessions are encouraged and expected to make a distinctive and creative contribution to the pre-conference.
