Open School - Progress for Music

DEOO - Danish Ensembles, Orchestras and Opera Institutions welcome you to a conference on music in the open school. Since 2015, the open school has provided the opportunity to involve local partners, such as the music schools, sports associations, the local museum or the business community. The conference highlights how it has gone with involving music in the open school.

Has progress been made? Is this a real collaboration? Have we introduced new methods? What has been gained from good experiences? What have we learned? Can we work digitally? Are there other than the music schools that invite you to music collaboration?

The conference will provide a number of examples of how music has become part of the open school. Between these examples, a number of research findings that shed light on the challenges associated with collaboration between different professions (eg primary school teachers, music educators and musicians) will be presented. Along the way, there will be ample opportunity to debate how music in the future will be placed and weighted in primary school. What is good, what can be improved, and what are the possibilities?
