Her project supervised by Professor Magne Espeland. She will examine the Use of digital tools to enable musical “encounters” between students on the internet and musical collaboration and creation projects across geographies possible. By studying children who play and improvise music together via online network solutions she will study how children interact, share and exchange musical experiences in such arenas. A theoretical perspective for the research will be to see the thesis and research questions in light of the terms “digital competence” and “digital educational practices”, when translated into the Norwegian language are terms to cover the English “digital literacy”.

Sweet freedom- Music as a Natural Resource
Sweet Freedom was selected by a committee of members working in tandem with the ICCC and the United Nations and was included in the compendium, which you will find attached. We hope that this may also aid you and your project in future enterprises, not only placing it in relation to other programs internationally, but also as a testimony of its value, ingenuity and significance. We hope that, even in a small manner, this important publication – and the audience it has already reached – will also contribute for further and future advocacy of the important work you and your group has developed.
We look forward to interacting with you in the future, keeping abreast of your successes, expansions, and challenges. Thank you once more for willingly share your work. Without it, this project would have never been possible.
