Conferencia Nórdica de Musicoterapia. FECHAS: 15 al 18 de Junio de 2006

Extended call for papers

The conference shall encourage exchange of knowledge and contacts within the music therapeutic field. For this reason workshops, with following reflecting discussions, will be given an extra amount of space. Even other, more unconventional, forms of meetings will be arranged to support contact between the participants of the conference. Suggestions are welcome. In other respects the conference will have key note speakers and, hopefully, a wide range of short presentations.
