multiculturalism

"In Finland, immigrant and Finnish musicians are slowly but surely creating a new musical culture based on shared experiences", wrote professor Erkki Pekkilä in this article in FMQ from 2002. Multiculturalism is a topic that sparks a lot of discussion in 2024. This article offers a glimpse into the perspective of the early 2000s and reflects Finland as it was twenty years ago.

How does one organise arts education in a multi-ethnic society? Whose culture should be taught? What should be considered in drawing up a national curriculum for music? The Finnish-Nepalese-Israeli project Global Visions Through Mobilizing Networks is contributing to the development of music education in Nepal.
