Tc The Sound of Music
S.A.L.T.O. Training course funded by ERASMUS + Programme
WHAT?
WHY THIS TRAINING?
While doing activities with young people, it is very common to use music in a bigger or smaller scale, and in a more conscious or unconscious way. The music can influence the atmosphere that is created in a group, it can transmit emotions and/or words, it can be a fundamental part of one activity or even affect in a negative way when we are not using the right music for the situation.
The conscious use of music, the right choice for the different moments, the options about public use (copyright, creative commons licenses), the digital tools to work with music, etc… are different aspects not always known and successfully used by trainers, youth leaders and/or workers in the field of youth.
Therefore, the purpose of this training is to develop the skills of the participants in the use of music as a tool in non-formal education activities with youth.
OBJETIVES
1. Provide participants with a theoretical framework of music as a transmitter of emotions
2. Create awareness of the influence and the impact music can have (both positive and negative) in the mood / during the development of non-formal educational activities
3. Develop the skills of the participants in the creation of thematic music by purpose (eg. music for teamwork, for reflection, for energizing, for creating groups,...)
4. Develop the ability of participants to create atmospheres (music, distribution of the space ...) that promote or encourage the learning of young people in NFE activities
5. Provide the participants with digital tools related to music (to create playlists, edit, search, playback, music without royalty)
6. Support participants in the implementation of competences acquired
7. Provide a space for the exchange of experiences and resources between participants (in music and NFE with youth material)
8. Discover the value of Erasmus +: Youth in Action, as a program for developing youth activities.
HOW?
There will be a balance between theoretical concepts, practical learning and use of concrete and useful tools.
The music will not be treated only as theoretical contents to discuss about, but it will be used systematically during the course. Case studies will be conducted to show what may be the most interesting themes according to the purpose and/or situation. Learning by doing!
