The Fourth SIMM-posium will bring together researchers, practitioners interested in research, and policymakers concerned with social welfare, to build and strengthen a network of professionals wishing to deepen rigorous and evidence-based understanding of how active participatory music making may be used to bring social benefits to groups of individuals in diverse contexts and situations. Of particular interest is research on the role of music in social transformation to promote critical thinking from such perspectives as education, peace-building, interculturality and citizenship that are crucial matters for Latin-American countries.
Topics may include:
> Peace building and post-conflict
> Coexistence and citizenship
> Large ensembles (orchestras / bands)
> Music education: Intercultural perspectives on urban and rural contexts
> Perspectives from the Global South
