It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

On 7 December 2022, PLAY GROUND joins forces with HOGENT, the University of Applied Sciences and Arts in Ghent, in a conference centered around the international research project ‘Music for social impact’. Through talks, workshops, miniconcerts and network moments, the conference will shed a light on the individual musician’s perspective and experience in social music practices.

PLAY GROUND taps into the Norwegian music scene to listen in on how music as an everyday activity can create sustainable structures to address local and global challenges, such as migration and health. Join these two digital lectures to learn more about how to involve and include children and young people from disadvantaged backgrounds, and how to share and experience the power and pleasure of making music.
