DESCRIPTION:This presentation discusses and conceptualises the uses of mus
 ic and music education activities as a way to address social inclusion and
  respect for diversity. A review of the literature outlining examples inte
 rnationally will be provided. It is apparent that active engagement in gro
 up musical activities in- and out-of-school has been and continues to be a
 n effective means to develop a sense of belonging with young people. The p
 resentation will draw on the presenter’s research on cross-community set
 tings in Northern Ireland and migrant children in Scotland\, available Ope

 ion. He is past Co-Chair of the Research Commission of the International S
