We are looking for an enthusiastic new colleague for the Cultural Program Coordinator and Digital Communications Assistant position at Goethe-Institut Myanmar. Please check the detailed job description on our website.

We have consistently hosted various successful monthly workshops as part of the ongoing "Program of Care 2.0" workshop series. Our upcoming workshop is titled "Self-expression & Self-care through Music", which seeks to delve into the field of music therapy.

But what is music therapy?
Music therapy is an allied health profession, clinical and evidence-based use of music interventions. Music therapists use music-based interventions to address the needs following nonmusical goals such as Physical, emotional/psychological, spiritual, social, and cognitive for improving the quality of life.

What do we do in this workshop?
We will compose, movement to Music, Singing and Listening to music, playing instruments under the supervision of a music therapist. This workshop is not to focus on musical goals but to use music to express your emotions and incorporate music into daily activities for your well-being. (Remark: The workshop will be held in Myanmar language.)

There was a remarkable level of interest, and we are thrilled to have received many applications for the Expanded Curatorial and Exhibition Making Training. After careful consideration, we have selected the most promising 16 curators to participate in the program.

We are delighted to unveil the exceptional individuals selected for the Reinterpret Myanmar’s History Grants. We sincerely appreciate the multitude of submissions pouring in from every corner of creativity and dedication in response to our open call. Each awardee was meticulously chosen through a rigorous selection process, which acknowledged their projects' unique brilliance and potential.
