Sažetak
Growing awareness of the need for intercultural learning in musicians' professional development in the globalized world produced many ideas and practices both in formal and non-formal education. These ideas arised from developments in ethnomusicology, world music and education in general, with special emphasis on the lifelong learning, intercultural education and education for active and democratic citizenship. In that sense, some of the non-formal youth music programs arised as opportunities for youth empowerment and creating intercultural dialogue. The potential of music to explore and give value to cultural diversity, as well as to change social climate, is recognized in the Ethno World youth program, organised worldwide by Jeunesses Musicales International since 1990. The program gathers young musicians aged 13-30 in annual international summer music camps, where they share traditional, folk and world music from their cultures, with a mission to revive and keep alive global cultural heritage. What emerged in more than 30 years of Ethno is the need for educating 'Ethno artistic mentors', skilled professionals who facilitate the youth gatherings usually in collaborative way. Many of them make a transition from participant to mentor position within the years of attending the Ethno gatherings, but the program can also be a great upgrade for those musicians and music educators, who are trained in the formal education systems, to expand their professional horizons on youth work. In last 10 years there are specialised trainings created to offer pedagogical insights into approaches to learning and facilitation used in Ethno. This research presents an exploratory case study which was conducted at Ethnofonik AllStars training in November/December 2017 in Paris, in order to describe and evaluate Ethnofonik, a non- formal training orginally made for musicians who want to become or already are Ethno artistic mentors. The research is examining three dimensions of the Ethnofonik training: (1) the value and position of the training in musicians' professional development ; (2) development of the Ethnofonik training in the context of Ethno gatherings ; (3) development of the training in the context of connections with the vertical formal education system. Questions arised during this pilot research are: (1) What is the scope of the Ethnofonik training? (2) To what extent Ethnofonik follows the Ethno gathering concept (does it offer competences which are over-growing the Ethno concept)? (3) Is the Ethnofonik training model relevant to other contexts? To answer these questions qualitative methodology was used. Besides content analysis and process observation, the research is enriched with five semi-structured interviews conducted with the leadership team. Results are analyzed by thematic coding and they offer a insights for further development of similar trainings, as well as re- thinking the system of higher music education in the direction of collaborations with non-formal sector.
