World of Music / Cultural Diversity in Music Education

Welcome

From the 1990’s, cultural diversity in music education has developed explosively in terms of frequency, locations, people and institutions involved. It has also raised many questions on position, content and methodology. Cultural Diversity in Music Education (CDIME) is an informal network for institutions and individuals working in this field. It is a platform for exchange of ideas, experiences and practice in an area that is still gaining ground in music education at all levels throughout the world. The Call for Papers is closed, the programme is being made as we speak. Keep an eye on the website for further information.

The Call for Papers for CDIME-TEN, January 2010 in Sydney, Australia, is now online! Check out the conference page for more information about the conference in Sydney.

CDIME is an informal network with no fixed administration or office. One of its underlying principles is that it will exist for as long as it is necessary – after that the network can very easily be dissolved. The network came into existence in 1992 when the first conference (then named Teaching World Music) was organised in Amsterdam. After that, a conference was realised approximately every two years: in Basel, Rotterdam, Dartington, Malmö, London, Brisbane, Rotterdam and Seattle.

The next CDIME conference will be in Sydney, Australia. Check out the conference link (above right) for more details.

Visitors of this website are invited to join our mailing list for the CDIME newsletter and information about the next CDIME conference.

Extending the network

CDIME is an informal network of people and organisations committed to this theme. It does not belong to any organisation or institution. If you would like to take part of this network, by participating in the activities, by simply staying up to date through the newsletter and website, or by contributing to this website - read on.
