List of activities

For the third year, the University of Transilvania organised a national music therapy conference in Brasov, at which we were delighted to present and give workshops to participants from around the country, as well as to attend many interesting presentations given by people across Romania with an interst in music therapy (including several of our Local Partners).

We attended the British Association for Music Therapy conference in London, chairing a Roundtable presentation with 5 Advisory Panel music therapists who shared their experiences of delivering introductory training projects in the UK using our sill-sharing approach, with a focus on lessons learned and inviting discussion among other UK music therapists sharing their skills independently.

We provided musical instruments to replenish those used by our local trainers in Rwanda, and to continue facilitating, supporting and advising their locally-led training activities.
