The Art of Inclusion and Unification through Music
The theme of this year's interdisciplinary International Scientific Symposium of the University of Ljubljana Academy of Music was chosen based on the current challenges faced by contemporary individuals and society. The key questions that will guide the symposium are: "How can music contribute to the creation of a comprehensive supportive environment for individuals, which consequently reflects in a healthy society?" and "How can we ensure conditions for music to be accessible to everyone in the educational environment and truly include and unite diverse individuals into a harmonious whole?"
The purpose of this year's symposium is to gain insight into the work of various disciplines (music pedagogy, music psychology, medicine, sociology, anthropology, musicology, etc.) in integrating music for the well-being of individuals and society.
The International Scientific Symposium of the University of Ljubljana Academy of Music 2023 addresses inclusion in the broadest sense of the word – the intertwining of various disciplines that seek ways of inclusion and integration through music, the intersection of art, science, and profession, and the interweaving of different identity roles in musicians.
The future of our society and the individuals within it lies in embracing diversity and building on the potential of each individual in a harmonious relationship with others – and music can play a crucial role in that.

Speakers
Adam Ockelford, PhD
University of Roehampton (UK)
Music: The Natural Language of Inclusion
This talk explores the idea that being musical is part of the human condition. It traces musical development in children using the Sounds of Intent framework (www.soundsofintent.app), and shows how engagement with music works across the spectrum of neurodiversity. It presents resources that teachers can use to enable children to make music together in an inclusive way, irrespective of their abilities, needs, differences and preferences.
Adam Ockelford, PhD is Professor of Music at the University of Roehampton, London. His research focus is on music psychology, in particular the development of special musical abilities in the contexts of blindness and autism -– areas about which he has written widely and lectures all over the world. Adam has a TED talk with the musical savant Derek Paravicini, with whom he has worked for 37 years: 'In the Key of Genius'

The goal is the path
The lecture is based on the findings that a musical environment establishes an outstanding field of co-creation for neuro-typical and neuro-atypical children and adults. Our new program 'My Music Way' is based on the Willems approach and introduces innovative musical knowledge across a range of levels, in pursuit of one mail goal: to empower individuals to live their best lives.

Nuša Piber, professor of music and holder of a Diploma in Willems© Music Education, founded the DO RE MI Music Centre (Glasbeni center DO RE MI) in 2008 as an inclusive music school which is particularly focused on the specifics of teaching music to children with autism spectrum disorder as well as on the involvement of these children in the learning process and the activities of the music school. Joined into a group called Wonderful Mind, the Centre's first students with autism toured Slovenia and abroad with their show The Phantom of the Opera between the years 2016 and 2018. At the 2017 World Autism Festival in Vancouver, Canada, Nuša Piber was awarded first prize in the category of 'Music Teachers' for her groundbreaking work in the field of autism and music.

Slovenia
The landscapes of Slovenia are filled with forests, castles, and medieval towns. Slovenia is also a wild area of Europe, featuring coast, mountains, and lakes. Here are the best spots for those seeking nature, history, and adventure (kayaking, sup, canyoning, climbing, skydiving). UNESCO wonders, fabulous local products with world-class cuisine, and excellent wine productions you can discover every day. You can find local bread, cheese, olives, vegetables, and fruit at markets throughout the country. Student meals are subsidized by the government, the Open Kitchen offers the world food on Fridays. Slovenia is an awesome destination for study between the Mediterranean, Alps, Karst, and Pannonian Plain, all in one for the unexpected study experience. Soaking up the sun, savoring every Mediterranean morsel, and partying between the bars are all popular activities. But the area has plenty more to do than perhaps what meets the eye.
We recommend you to watch video to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Slovenian statehood and the taking over of the presidency of the Council of the EU, that features Slovenian national anthem with english/ german/ french/ italian or hungarian subtitles.
