The South Asia branch of the International Society of Music Education in partnership with the University of the Visual and Performing Arts in Colombo (UVPA) invites abstract submissions followed by full papers and their presentations. The conference will take place in Colombo at the University of Visual and Performing Arts in October 2021.
Theme: Promoting Intercultural Understanding through Music Transmission in South Asia
South Asia is a region of great diversity. This diversity should be widely respected and nurtured. Although living standards are based on increasing economic outputs, some critical voices should be heard that have to balance the place of music learning, that have to deal with the facts of oral traditions, in primary schools as well as in later types of schools and institutions. This conference may have to re-define a number of issues such as public and private music education, name their goals, and question some basic assumptions of educational principles applied to regionally diverse communities.
Proposals for individual papers presentations, panel sessions (symposia), workshops and multi-media presentations are invited from participants world wide. ISME encourages submissions from researchers and practitioners at all career stages including graduate students and early career professionals that align with the conference theme and the needs and aspriations of music education throughout the region.
