Our next PJP Meeting will take place in Helsinki (Finland) on 12 – 15 February 2026 under the title “Power of Music: self-expression, community engagement and wellbeing in music“. We will be hosted by Metropolia University of Applied Sciences in Helsinki.

Having received very good feedback on the organisation and the programme of previous conferences, we continue including participatory workshops in the programming. All the longer-established elements of the Meetings such as keynote speeches, contributions from the community in the form of Open Floor presentations, and various opportunities for networking are included as well.

To tap into the talent of the PJP community, we are launching two calls for contributions:

  • A call for Workshops
  • A call for Open Floor sessions

Please find detailed information by clicking on the buttons below:

Deadline for sending the proposals is  7 November 2025. All selections for both the Workshops and the Open Floor sessions will be communicated by 19 November 2025. Information about the event, including programme, fee payment and practical information will be published very soon on the event’s webpage.

We are very much looking forward to seeing you all in Helsinki next February! And if possible, please bring students with you!
