The Centre’s Mediterranean Forum of Early Childhood Music Education was inaugurated in April 2018. The biennial Conference on Early Childhood Music Education in the Mediterranean is inviting music scholars from Europe and around the Mediterranean region and beyond, with strong interests in Mediterranean-rich musical heritage, the young child, early childhood music teaching and learning in Mediterranean countries, evaluation of music teaching and learning and teacher training and preparation. The Mediterranean Forum of Early Childhood Music Education activities aim to raise early childhood music education (=ECME) to the status of a professional specialised subject in early childhood education and care in the Mediterranean region and internationally, and in improving the quality of music teaching and learning for young children.
