We created a mechanism through which our partners could apply to have their own music training courses evaluated by Music as Therapy International. Once we had approved their training content – typically in dialogue over a number of months – partners were awarded “Recommended Trainer” status.

We were delighted to award a Discretionary Grant to one of our local partners, as she set up a new setting providing support to children with disabilities in Timisoara. The grant comprised the donation of musical insturments to equip Centru Vivart and to enable our local partner to embed music sessions into the centre’s timetable.

The pilot delivery of training delivered through our Distance Learning Model, hosted by our partners from the Day Centre ‘Sf. Maria’ in Cluj – and a supervised Practical Assignment. The course was designed in response to the emergence of smaller care settings as a result of nationwide reforms of statutory care provision, and can accommodate up to 12 practitioners interested to learn how they can use music within the care and/or edication they provide for young children with disabilities in different care settings around the country.
