Upcoming travels

It's been a little while since I've taken to the skies internationally, so I'm thrilled to be heading to Tampere, Finland to present at the International Society of Music Education (ISME) Community Music Activity Pre-Conference Seminar.

On the way, I'll be stopping over in Hong Kong (my first visit since 2013!) and giving a performance/presentation as part of a forum hosted by the Centre For Community Cultural Development.

Due to the place-based and community-centred nature of the research I've been doing with the Creative Change Project, I've been working and thinking in very locally-embedded ways over the last year and a half. So it's an exciting challenge, working out how to share this work in an international context, and thinking about its broader implications for sustainability in community music practice.

I also can't wait to listen and learn with all of the amazing musicians, educators and community music facilitators I'm going to meet on this trip!
