This is what will propel the ESA into the future and grow the SUZUKI™ Method throughout the region. Regular events will nurture this growth and renew moƟvaƟon. The plan is for ESA to have a schedule of regular events - • ESA Teachers’ ConvenƟon every 2 years • ESA Teacher Trainers’ ConvenƟon every 4 years • European Suzuki Children's ConvenƟon every 4 years This will give - • Teacher Trainers their own regular event • Teachers the opportunity to aƩend something 3 years in every 4 • Children their own regular event The schedule for the next five years is slightly altered due to past restricƟons imposed by the global pandemic - 2023 No ESA event scheduled due to BSMA Suzuki Gala Concert, London 2024 European Suzuki Teachers’ ConvenƟon, Aarhus Denmark 2025 European Suzuki Teacher Trainers’ ConvenƟon venue TBC 2026 European Suzuki Teachers’ ConvenƟon venue TBC 2027 European Suzuki Children’s ConvenƟon venue TBC However, maintaining this programme does enƟrely depend on the willingness of naƟonal Suzuki associaƟons to host these events and provide an Organising CommiƩee to work with ESA Admin. The CommiƩee would be responsible for finding a venue, geƫng a quote, deciding on a theme, drawing up the programme and selecƟng the Faculty. ESA Admin would be responsible for all financial maƩers, publicity and registraƟons. For the European Suzuki Children’s ConvenƟons, the Organising CommiƩee would be responsible for the whole project, including finding sponsors to help with funding. Please contact the ESA Office if you would like to help your country host an ESA ConvenƟon on esa@europeansuzuki.org Engage, collaborate and share THE MISSION of the European Suzuki AssociaƟon (ESA) is to further Dr. Shinichi Suzuki's approach to educaƟon. The organisaƟon's area of operaƟon is Europe, the Middle East and Africa, as decided by the InternaƟonal Suzuki AssociaƟon of which the ESA is a member. The cornerstone of maintaining quality in Suzuki teaching is the provision of quality Suzuki Teacher Training.
