Musicking from Empathy to Global Justice: Sound & Proactive Peacebuilding

Dr. Olivier Urbain
Director, Min-On Music Research Institute (MOMRI, Tokyo)
Visiting Research Professor, Queen’s University Belfast

Can we change the world through music? Is there any connection between music and the major threats confronting humanity today, such as climate change, species extinction, rising nationalism and populism, and the rise of artificial intelligence?

The Min-On Music Research Institute (MOMRI) was established in 2014 in Tokyo, Japan, to investigate the potential application of music in peacebuilding activities. Dr. Urbain will highlight some of the achievements and findings of MOMRI as they celebrate our fifth anniversary. Included in his talk will be findings of recent research that show links between music and empathy, sound and proactive peacebuilding as a way to connect the individual and global events, and how the work of global justice can be illustrated through music. Dr. Urbain's research suggests that music in peacebuilding will not solve all of our problems, but it might enhance our capacity to change a small corner of the world through musicking.

L&D Workshop – Listening to Understand & Listening to Win (Managers)

Experience a ‘Learning Lab’ called Listening to Understand & Listening to Win. 

This is a new concept in training delivery for L&D, known for: No paper, no desk, no PowerPoint.

This We! course is all about communication and understanding and listening:

Listening to Understand is about "we" not "me". Here, the aim is to understand, really understand. Not with the desire to fix problems or make things better but to really comprehend and accept what the other person perceives. People who do this well set aside judgments and are really curious about how others see themselves in the world. This approach to listening benefits everyone involved. As a leader who excels at Listening to Understand your perspective of the world and people grows. As a result of attending this workshop leaders will understand:

  • The difference between listening to understand and listening to win – what they are and the difference in impact
  • How listening to understand allows leaders to deepen their perspectives
  • How to recreate themselves in the act of listening

Target Audience: Associate Deans, Associate Directors, Managers

Facilitator: Carol Fenn, Starfish Learning (SLI)

Please register by contacting Maureen or Michelle at learninghrs@humber.ca.
