ISME conference: only just over 7 weeks to when many of us will meet up in Brazil. Exciting times. I know the Sistema thread through the conference will be excellent and we will have plenty of opportunities to link up formally and informally. I believe the conference programme will be with us very shortly.

Palestine A message from our friends in Palestine who hope we are doing fine and our own programs prosper successfully!
Palestine’s El Sistema inspired project “Sounds of Palestine” in Bethlehem/Palestine is growing and they are looking for experienced volunteer violin teacher(s) that could support us for 6 weeks or more during the coming school year by giving group lessons to our students as well as by training our local violin teacher.
This is the link to their “official call” with more information on the program and on their needs and with the contact information:

Maybe you have an idea who could be interested to join and support them? It also would be very kind of you if you could distribute this link in order to help them reaching many teachers which might possibly be interested.
Thank you very much and all the best.
Katja Eckardt, Project Director “Sounds of Palestine”
