These are the conference proceedings of the Sustainability in Community Music Practice (Community Music Activity) of the International Society for Music Education (ISME) ) which was held from July 10 – 14, 2024 at the Tampere University, Faculty of Education and Culture (EDU) in Finland.

The theme of the 2024 CMA Seminar was “Sustainability in Community Music Practice". 

The Community Music Activity Commission 2024 preconference was led by Co-Chairs Alicia de Bánffy-Hall and Christine D’Alexander. This 19th preconference was the first in- person event since the COVID19 pandemic, and the first time the international community could meet following on from four years of online gatherings.  Focusing on sustainability and accountability within community music practice, with consideration of personal, societal, and environmental factors, delegates connected and engaged in conversation surrounding issues of sustainability, health and wellbeing, accountability, and inclusivity.

CMA 2024 had the highest number of student delegates and first-time attendees participating since the first event in 1988.
