The conference is organised together with the European Network Music Educators and Researcher of Young Children EuNetMERYC.
The aim of the joint CFMAE-MERYC2015 International Conference is to bring together educators and researchers as well as practitioners in order to promote and generate new ideas about education and its impact in music and the arts.
The focus of MERYC is interdisciplinary discussion and dissemination of new, unpublished research relating to the field of music and early childhood (0-8 years) in education (school and extracurricular contexts) and everyday life, both in theoretical research and innovative approaches to practice. The hosting CFMAE conference supports the focus of MERYC within a larger context of music and art education as well as related interdisciplinary fields.
