The Music as Social Innovation (MAS) Center is a new initiative by PGVIM and partner institutions to set up a hub of high-skilled talents with expertise in applying musical knowledge in response to current global challenges. This panel discussion invites participants to delve into the transformative impact of music across three areas: Music Makes Senses, Music Makes Changes, and Music Makes Humanity. Each focus area highlights unique aspects of human, social, and economic development through musical innovation.
