Die Jahrestagung des Internationalen Orff-Schulwerk Forums findet online und vor Ort am Orff-Institut in Salzburg von 17. bis 19. Juli 2023 statt und trägt den Titel: „DIVERSE STIMMEN. Addressing and Exploring Diversity and Inclusion in Orff Schulwerk“.
Diversity and Inclusion lie at the heart of the Orff Schulwerk philosophy and its practices. They co-exist but are often in tension, creating challenges for our work as teachers and mentors.
Our theme applies to all the ways in which we may be different from each other: age, gender, cultural and social background, race and identity, abilities, interests and aptitudes. But diversity is less about what makes people different — and more about understanding, accepting and valuing those differences. Inclusion leads to feeling a sense of belonging and value.
The Convention aims to offer a place where ideas and experiences of creating inclusive and equitable conditions for music and dance education can be discussed. It will also provide opportunities to enrich our practice, even challenging our own approaches, as we come to understand other perspectives.
