Music and Social Intervention Network - Excellence, inclusion and intervention in music: navigating contexts and building sustainable working practice

该项目旨在探索包容性和卓越性，这是塑造社区音乐和音乐教育领域的两个关键概念。这些概念通常被用作衡量成功的指标，因此也被用作进一步资助的指标，这些概念主要被一起用作许多涉及参与性音乐制作的项目的描述符。拟议的网络活动将从理论和实践两方面扩大我们对这些想法的理解。它将鼓励学者分享这些概念如何在不同的研究领域中使用，并探讨采用什么方法来判断它们是否成功实施。例如，在刑事司法系统工作的人如何确定包容性？当雇用一个社区音乐家时，这是如何沟通的--两者之间有什么不同和相似之处，双方如何确定该项目是否在这一领域表现出色？我们将通过汇集广泛的从业者和学者来做到这一点：-确定当前对卓越和包容的理解以及它们如何在实践中应用;-解开这些理解，以了解它们对从业者，服务提供者和资助者有多大用处，并挑战它们目前用于衡量参与式音乐项目成功的方式;- 在共享知识的基础上重建对卓越和包容的理解，使从业人员了解情况，服务提供商和资助者，并作为进一步研究和奖学金的平台。我们所有的网络活动将在英国的不同地区举行，使我们能够达到来自伦敦、约克和格拉斯哥的当地专业人士。我们将邀请在网络连接的地区工作的当地人，包括音乐家，音乐教育家，音乐治疗师，那些在刑事司法，心理治疗，健康和心理学工作的人参加这些活动。我们的意图是让所有参与者参与讨论和对话。将向博士生提供旅行奖学金，以参加公开辩论。国际社区音乐中心（ICCM）主办的网站将提供一个持续的在线论坛，以探索和传播围绕参与式音乐制作的包容性和卓越性的思想。鼓励网络内的人，研讨会和会议的参与者的贡献，加上来自更广泛的圈子的更广泛的邀请，表明各种学科的代表，我们的目标将是创建一个动态的在线空间，不仅有助于重点成果，如期刊文章，而且作为一个重要的“文本”本身，有一个超越网络资金的生命。它将通过以下方式使网络参与者和其他未来用户受益：（伦敦、约克和格拉斯哥）分享其包容和卓越的经验;-提供一个国际有用的在线论坛，供讨论和信息交流，并提供相关资源和其他专题讨论会机会的链接;- 促进学术界与高等院校以外的学术界之间的对话，从而加深对关键概念的运用方式的理解在合作企业内; -强调在实践领域之间建立“虚假”界限的问题;-就关键问题和解决这些问题的潜在方法发表明确的声明。

The project aims to explore inclusion and excellence, two key concepts that shape the field of community music and music education. Often used as indicators for measurements of success, and consequently further funding, these concepts have been principally used together as descriptors for many projects that involve participatory music making. The proposed network activities will extend our understanding of these ideas both philosophically and as they pertain to practice. It will encourage scholars to share how these notions are utilized in different fields of study and explore what methods are employed to judge whether they have been implemented successfully or not. For example, how do people working in the criminal justice system determine inclusivity? When employing a community musician how is this communicated - what are the differences and similarities between the two and how can both parties determine whether or not the project has excelled in this area? We will do this by bringing together a wide range of practitioners and scholars to:- Identify the current understandings of excellence and inclusion and how they are applied in practice;- Unpick these understandings in order to see how useful they are to practitioners, service providers and funders, and to challenge the ways that they are currently used to measure the success of a participatory music project;- Rebuild understandings of excellence and inclusion based on shared knowledge that can inform practitioners, service providers and funders and be used as a platform for further research and scholarship.All of our networking events will be held in different parts of the UK enabling us to reach local professionals from London, York, and Glasgow. We will invite local people working within the areas connected to the network, including musicians, music educators, music therapists, those working in criminal justice, psychotherapy, health, and psychology to these events. Our intention is to include all participants in discussions and dialogue. Travel bursaries will be offered to doctoral students for attendance at the open debates. Sessions will always be planned to facilitate maximum collegiality ensuring that a multitude of voices will be heard.The website hosted by the International Centre for Community Music (ICCM) will provide a continuing online forum for exploration and dissemination of thought surrounding inclusion and excellence in participatory music making. Encouraging contributions from those within the network, participants of the symposia and conference meetings, plus a broader invitation from the wider circles indicative of the various disciplinary representations, our aim will be to create a dynamic online space to not only aid the focused outcomes, such as journal articles, but also as an important 'text' itself that has a life beyond the network funding. It will benefit network participants and other future users by:- Providing a platform that enables practitioners at each sited event (London, York, and Glasgow) to share their experiences of inclusion and excellence;- Providing an internationally useful online forum for discussions and information exchange, with links to relevant resources and other symposia opportunities;- Fostering dialogue between academic constituencies and those from outside HEIs thereby enriching understanding of ways the key concepts can be employed within collaborative enterprises; - Highlighting the problem of creating 'false' boundaries between fields of practice;- Producing articulate statements regarding the key issues and potential approaches in addressing them.
