 Susan O’Neill (ISME President) and Elina Laakso (Chair, Helsinki 2020 Conference Committee) have announced that the International Society of Music Education (ISME) is cancelling the 34th World Conference that was due to take place in Helsinki, Finland from August 2nd to 7th, 2020. This decision was reached through a unanimous vote of the ISME Board on March 30th, 2020 after consultation with the Helsinki 2020 Conference Team and Uniarts Helsinki.They value their biennial, face-to-face meetings and the opportunities they afford for sharing and discussing scholarship and practice, celebrating music making, and networking both formally and informally with colleagues from around the world. Sadly, as a result of COVID-19 and the travel and economic impact that is happening around the world, it is no longer feasible for ISME to hold an international conference in Helsinki in 2020. However, they are working on plans to reimagine some opportunities for virtual presentations and meetings that will enable them to honour their professional responsibility to share significant research and practice. They will provide more information about their plans for virtual activities as soon as possible. In addition, the ISME Board will be spending the next few months reviewing options for holding the next ISME World Conference in 2022. An announcement will be made to all members as soon as a decision is reached by the Board. |
