WELCOME

On behalf of the Conference Organising Group of SAMSPEL - ISME 2002, it is our pleasure to invite you to attend ISME's 25th world conference in music education.

As organisers of SAMSPEL we believe that the new challenges for music education in this millennium must be met with increased co-operation and togetherness. The Norwegian word SAMSPEL means working together in music and in other areas of human activity. However, multilateral collaboration of many kinds produces new
questions and challenges that will be addressed at this conference.

The home town of Edvard Grieg is a modern, yet very traditional and charming Norwegian city. Situated in the midst of the famous Norwegian fjords, Bergen is a perfect host city for a world conference in music education, - a conference with a wide variety of exciting musical and educational events.

It is, indeed, a great privilege to invite you to Bergen in August to take part in many kinds of SAMSPEL and to find the best answers and the best solutions to the challenges in music education - together.

Chair ISME 2002
