    “Music for Change” is the music department’s contribution to the internationalization project of the Zurich University of the Arts called “Arts for Change”. Within this project, each of the five departments establish collaborative relationships with partner organizations at home and abroad.

    Within internationalization abroad, the Department of Music has chosen to deepen its education and music project “Crossing Boundaries Musically” with The Bangalore School of Music. Regarding internationalization at home, a new project has been brought to live under the same name: “Internationalization@home”.

    Project’s coordination:
    Prof. Ranko Markovic, Head of International Relations in Music
    Katerina Janku, Assistant International Relations in Music

    Crossing Boundaries Musically

    This project's ambition is to exchange music, theory, methods and learn from each other. Hence the project’s title “Crossing Boundaries Musically” lives up to its name. The aim is to support students of the Pedagogical Master in Music Programmes to develop new fields of experience, research, and activity. For this purpose, The Bangalore School of Music offers a semi-annual stay for one student or professional and hosts smaller groups of students and teaching staff for shorter stays throughout the year. In return, the Department of Music invited students and teaching staff from The Bangalore School of Music to visit Zurich University of the Arts in summer 2017 in order to exchange music, theory and methods within workshops and teaching units.

    Internationalization@home

    Engaging with music in a community makes it easier to open up to the unknown and carves out space to take a critical look at existing systems and perceptual habits. Organizational and social conditions influence how we engage with music.
    Therefore, “internationalization@home” and socioculture have long been a self-evident requirement in school-based and extracurricular projects and activities in the field of music, as well as music and movement for people of all ages. It is in the school setting that we have been repeatedly encountering children as well as teachers with a migrant background for decades. Developing music projects with heterogeneous groups of people has long been a part of educational interactions. Currently, courses are increasingly aiming to scrutinize inclusive projects from a sociocultural point of view and to professionalize degree programmes accordingly. With the “CAS Socioculture”, the “CAS Classroom Music” and the “Community Music” component, the Further Education Music has already included appropriate study programmes.
    In the context of “Music for Change”, students and alumni have been launching, supporting and evaluating sociocultural projects. A corresponding curriculum will be devised in the near future. Potential forms of collaboration between representatives of the Department of Music at ZHdK and of Social Work at ZHAW will be considered for this purpose.
