Description
Social transformations and migratory movements place the current school model in a scenario that includes new groups. Immigrants, different family structures or ethnic minorities characterize the globalization process and pose a new reality that entails new educational challenges. These challenges entail new teaching strategies from a holistic and integrative perspective. Both music and theater can contribute to an intercultural dialogue of acceptance and understanding. A teaching proposal has been carried out in a Spanish faculty of education with the objective of sensitizing students -future teachers- to the importance of promoting inclusion. Interventions have been put into practice through music and applied theater. Seventy-six university students, three refugees and one migrant participated. The results confirm that the proposal has allowed them to empathize and understand the need to incorporate this type of activities in their future teaching work.
