Common aims:
diversity in music education: lots of music is not being recognized in current music education; diversity is a global challenge in music ed but perhaps more so in the Nordic context with its focus on popular music
connecting people: bringing people together through music; people who want to connect but don’t know how to find each other
sustainability: sustaining endangered traditions
local music: these are cultures that make this region unique
social justice: wider space for minority voices within national and regional contexts
