This course begins by exploring, and challenging the concepts of agency, change, transformation, and intervention in and through community music practice, before developing an understanding of our roles as facilitators and the boundaries we must set.
‘There needs to be a deep understanding of what change community music facilitators are trying to make, and underlying aims, assumptions and processes behind it’ (Bartlett and Higgins, 2019 pp.7)
This course is run in collaboration with the Jerusalem Academy of Music and Dance and the European University of Cyprus.
