The aim of this presentation/discussion is to share the work accomplished since 2019 by this group\, listen to new ideas and to reflect together on how music therapy professionals and other professionals from related areas\, who use music-based interventions\, can collaborate and work together to offer the best and healthiest interventions to people with dementia and their caregivers. Projects such as collecting\, comparing and evaluating music-based protocols exist in different parts of the world and should be collected and made known to as many professionals as possible in order to test specific interventions as well as specific elements of the interventions from an international perspective\, just to mention a few. We hope that these international collaborations can contribute to drive new innovation in healthcare. \n  \nRegister here:\n\n \n \n\n \n\n \n \n First Name \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n Last Name \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n Email Address \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n\n \n \n\n \n Submit \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n  \n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\nMelissa Mercadal-Brotons\, PhD\, MT-BC\, SMTAE: Vice-director of academic affairs and director of the Music Therapy Master’s Program at the Escola Superior de Música de Catalunya.
