All papers and workshops were linked to the topic of student involvement and teacher collaboration in some way or another. There were many presentations given by teachers who had been involved in projects that were student-led, involved reflection, were interdisciplinary or involved collaboration between students, teachers or institutions. There were also workshops that tried out new ways of teaching improvisation, instrument in groups and of teaching musical expression.
The first keynote speaker, Monika Nerland, discussed and clarified the commonly used concepts of student-centred learning, learner-centred teaching and student engagement.
Furthermore, the conference involved the launch of the new website where some of the projects presented at the conference will soon be available.
Some highlights from this conference:
