Empowering the Future: International Think-Tank Experts Appointed; "Future Seeds" Research Plan Sets Sail
On the morning of June 13, the highly anticipated "Music Tree Methodology" International Academic Cooperation Ceremony was held in the Grand Ballroom of the Nanning Wanda Vista Hotel. On this stage dedicated exclusively to "Music Tree," two core activities oriented toward the future were officially launched:
First, the appointment ceremony for international academic and practice experts was held. Deputy Secretary Du Yuanyang of Guangxi College for Preschool Education, Vice President Zhou Hang of the China Mingyuan Future Education Research Institute, and Director Tian Yong of the Music Tree Methodology (China-ASEAN) Research Center jointly stepped onto the stage to present official letters of appointment to experts, scholars, and kindergarten teachers in related fields from the Vietnam Central Pedagogical College, Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (Malaysia), Mahasarakham University (Thailand), Universiti Brunei Darussalam, and Guangxi College for Preschool Education. The addition of this elite think-tank team, equipped with international vision and solid local practical capabilities, will inject continuous professional momentum into the Research Center's subsequent cross-cultural and digital-driven research.
Subsequently, witnessed by nearly 300 international and domestic early childhood education colleagues, Music Tree officially announced the launch of the "Future Seeds" Joint Research Plan. This initiative aims to build a long-term collaborative platform for cross-border early childhood education resource sharing and talent cultivation. Through joint scientific research, it will deeply explore the spiral growth model of early childhood music that aligns with different national and regional cultural backgrounds. This move has deeply sown the seeds of hope for the Research Center's future international application and localized empirical research.
As the core highlight of this inaugural grand event, the comprehensive debut of the Music Tree Methodology (China-ASEAN) Research Center and the achievement of a series of international collaborations not only established its leading position in academic innovation within the field of China-ASEAN early childhood music education but also provided a practical and feasible example of early childhood education digitalization to empower global "holistic education." In the future, the Research Center will take this conference as an opportunity to join hands with global experts and colleagues to jointly define the new standards for future early childhood music education!
