Description
The Co-OPERAtive project is an opera hub for a mixed group of young Athenians and unaccompanied asylum-seeking minors aged 15-17 from across Attica. In this workshop a group activity based on this particular program will be presented. Using non-verbal teaching and non-formal education techniques the audience with the assistance of the facilitator will learn a song, will orchestrate it, perform it and conduct it within 40 minutes. The methodology proposed is experience based but also scientifically informed. Derives from the facilitator’s experience on community music projects and is in accordance with the global research’s findings on the impact of music education in the participants’ personal growth as well as society. Before ending the workshop there will be conversation regarding the activity, its possible impact on the participants’ psychology and its application in different educational contexts.
