Over the past year, the World Federation of Music Therapy (WFMT) has undertaken a meaningful process of reflection, dialogue and revision.
Led by the WFMT Council and enriched by thoughtful input from our global membership, we have carefully reviewed and updated our Vision, Mission and Values: the core statements that guide our work as a worldwide federation.
This important undertaking was not simply an internal exercise, but a collaborative effort grounded in the diverse perspectives of our international music therapy community. Together, we asked:
Who are we as a federation today? What do we stand for? Where are we headed and how do we get there, together?
The result is a set of renewed statements that:
✔ Reflect our shared identity and purpose
✔ Align with the evolving needs of our field
✔ Reaffirm our commitment to inclusion, equity and global collaboration
We are proud to share these revised guiding statements as a solid foundation for WFMT’s continued growth, dialogue and leadership.
We warmly thank all members who contributed their insights to this process. Your voices have shaped this work in deep and lasting ways.
