Objectives
To support the systematisation of the process of musical education developed and carried out by Projeto Axé in favour of street children and adolescents (GECA – experimental chamber group).
Beneficiaries
1 researcher (half a study grant)
Activities
Fondation Alta Mane and the De André Foundation jointly funded a grant for research into the outcome of ArtEducation titled “The sound of desire and the desire of sound: music teaching and traineeship at Projeto Axè”. The research lasted 10 months and enabled the methodology to be systematised in a publication targeting schools using ArtEducation as part of their syllabus.
Partner
