Join us July 14–16 in Sulmona, Italy, as we share voices and shape the future of popular music, identity, and education.

Tuesday July 14, 2026 5:00pm - 5:45pm CEST
The cultural diversity within schools makes the development of music teachers’ intercultural competence an increasingly relevant priority (Westerlund, Karlsen, & Partti, 2020; Cabedo-Mas, 2015). From this perspective, beginning with an analysis of the Italian context (Institutional programs and political expectations), the panel will focus on concrete experiences and initiatives in intercultural training within musical practice, such as inviting foreign musicians to participate in teaching activities and in the creation of intercultural ensembles. Following an examination of an Italian intercultural teacher-training program, we will move to international experiences, within the broader framework of a world-education perspective (Biesta 2021).
