The 2022 ISME World Conference aims to foster global understanding and co-operation among the world’s music educators. By strengthening ties and sharing ideas about diverse aspects and issues within music education, the 2022 ISME World Conference helps to promote music education worldwide for people of all ages.

The theme for 2022 is A Visible Voice. We recognise the legitimacy of each community’s music practice as a valid strategy for their socialisation and development. It is crucial that each music tradition finds space within the activities espoused by ISME. For teacher and researcher alike, there is need for respect and recognition of one’s opinion, position and perception, no matter their station, because every experience is valid and has something to contribute to ISME’s global agenda of enhancing human lives through quality music education. The 35th World Conference provides a platform where, globally and at personal levels, what we do makes a difference as we provide the diversity that our membership represents.

The hope is that the conference will take place in-person in Australia, however if COVID guidelines prevent this from happening, the conference will be delivered virtually.
