Space for Connection and Care

Exploring peacebuilding, culture, social-emotional learning, community, creativity, and imagination through research and story.

As we launch a Master of Music Education with an emphasis in peacebuilding, social-emotional learning, and World Music Drumming, we are reclaiming connection and care in music teaching. Join us for podcasts, blog posts, and more!
