Through the local lense of developing a globally relevant music teacher training at Malmö Academy of Music, the characteristics of ”times in trouble research” are presented. Finally, with examples from ongoing research on the El Sistema implementation in Sweden, important factors for developing intercultural competence in, through and with music education are discussed.
