Learning from Artistic and Pedagogical Differences between Musicians' and Actors' Traditions through Collaborative Processes

This chapter presents the GLOMUS camp in Ghana as one of the organizers of the conference, and as a participant observer in the musical activities and the conference. It aims to evaluate the camp with special attention to attitudes to intercultural music education, and learning methods. The chapter consists of interviews and observations made during musical interactions, where participants shared their diverse cultural backgrounds and musical skills through the challenge of cross-cultural music-making. The idea of creating global relational networks for learning is central in the GLOMAS programme. All the major learning outcomes from the GLOMAS programme were tested and developed during the camp: border-crossing musicianship, knowledge of hybrid music genres, communication across diverse settings and project management. Based on earlier experiences from cross-cultural music projects, the Nordic GLOMAS students expressed a critical approach to the general idea of 'sharing' as something unquestionably beneficial. Musical leadership was mentioned as something the students had learned from their musical projects.
