In total we are expecting 150 participants to Brazil making it also the biggest on record.

GLOMAS goes around the globe
During this year, GLOMAS students  have taken field trips to Mali, Israel, Palestine, India, Bulgaria and Tanzania as part of their studies.
During these trips students have been carrying out their own research, taking lessons and also teaching in the communities. Field trips also aim to connect to the GLOMUS network, providing opportunities for exchange, knowledge sharing and capacity building during the time in-between GLOMUS Camps.
Please let us know if your institution would like to receive a visit from a GLOMAS student in the future!

Cooperation with Palestine Continues
Royal Academy of Music in Aarhus has been lucky to have an extension of their collaboration with Edward Said  Conservatory of Music in Jerusalem, funded by the Danish House in Palestine.
In November RAMA will host seven students from Palestine. Together with the Danish students, they will work on recordings and concerts with Palestinian/Nordic fusion sound. Plans are underway for a celebration of Palestinian culture in Aarhus where both the guests from ESCM, RAMA students, Danish primary school children and local "Danish" Palestinians will perform. This will be a unique week of deep personal connections and fantastic music making!
In spring, RAMA students will again visit Palestine in return. In addition to Jerusalem and Ramallah, the concerts will this time take place in Hebron and Nablus.

Mali & Denmark went upside down!
 Music, dance and vocal students from Denmark, Mali, Netherlands and Sweden joined forces with Malian master musicians at a "fabulous border breaking show" during the Aarhus Festival. Led by a small group of students who have been studying at the Conservatoire des Arts of Bamako, they performed the proud musical tradition of Mali, simultaneously turning the music a little "upside down" by adding elements of Western pop/jazz. The leading Danish music magazine GAFFA gave the concert five stars out of five! *****
