Music by children & kids

"Music by children & kids. Improvisation in the family relationship: functional and dysfunctional sounds in the family's harmonic process” is a project that aims to build assisted pathways of resilience and the development of the emotional-affective dimension of children and adolescents. Specifically, the focus is on letting children and families experience the pedagogical  and formative value of jazz languageand improvisational conduct. Predominant is, therefore, the  language of improvisation as an element to stimulate creativity, a necessary pedagogical tool against intellectual passivity. 
More generally, the project aims to:

• promote the pedagogical value of jazz and improvised music;
• recover creative thinking through the shared experience of musical practices;
• enhance singing and instrumental skills to communicate emotions, feelings and atmospheres;
• promote the inclusion of differences;
• promote relational aptitude and break down socio-cultural barriers;
• raise awareness among students, young people and the community on social issues of today's interest;
• promote an intentional "educational-affective community culture" among all social actors and their networks;
• promote an alternative to the traditional education and care system to be offered especially to users in vulnerable situations;
• implement an assisted resilience intervention in the area where the welfare model is implemented in order to overcome the criticalities caused by contemporary multilevel emergencies (social, educational-parental, institutional, health, environmental, war, etc.);
• prevent and stem the youth distress phenomena of our time through multidisciplinary interventions focused on the recovery of the "intergenerational division" and the "dialogue between adults and minors and between peers";
• promote knowledge and professional implementation of the construct of "widespread parenting" among operators in the educational and care relationship and families through educational and didactic community action capable of involving every family unit interested in developmental issues and educational poverty and in the development of the emotional-affective dimension of children.
