Dr. Barbara Weikert. NASD Music Coordinator
Last week the Club welcomed Dr. Barbara Weikert the music coordinator for the Norristown Area School District, who spoke on the topic of Global Education through Peacebuilding and Music. She has used her experiences as a Fulbright Scholar and as the music coordinator to work for peace by teaching diverse populations how to get along. Her work with the Global Peace Initiative gave her the opportunity to bring people together through the universal ;language of music employing both local traditional music and our culture.
Closer to home, she has worked with the Pa Council for International Education to ensure music has a continued influence in our education programs.
Dr. Weikert also shared slides of her experiences with the Fulbright Foundation in several programs abroad to "help create connections in a complex world"
Thank you DR. Weikert for sharing this message.
