Abstract

Education serves the role of preserving and passing down to future generations’ valuable aspects of traditions and cultures, forming the building blocks for advanced civilizations. The world is culturally diverse, yet bonds can be created through cultural exchanges, and found a global peaceful coexistence. The transmission of a variety of cultures can be inhibited or promoted by governments, yet civil society has an autonomous and important role. The author discusses examples from her personal experience in teaching music in a variety of cultural and socio-economic settings, and the impact of governmental policies on artistic teaching. The author also establishes why education in the humanities, conscience, music and fine arts form the structural underpinnings of an advanced society and culture that is sustainable and respects human rights for all.
