Panel discussion with Karolien Dons, Martin Cloonan and Ian Smith

Music and culture play a significant role in the political and societal development of a peaceful and integrative Europe. Music and its diverse expressions are extremely relevant for social cohesion, wellbeing and economic growth. What kind of an impact can music have? And how can we combine research with the practical field to better recognise the values of music? During the panel practitioners and academics will share their experiences to prove that music does make a difference.
