SYNC IN! Cooperative music for inclusive youth participation

Training Course

22-28 July 2024 | Val di Chy (Valchiusella), Italy

SYNC IN! is a 7-day residential training course, for actual and aspirant youth workers, on cooperative music and community singing as tools for fostering inclusion, particularly among young people facing marginalization and social isolation.

MAIN TOPICS

  • Circlesinging
  • Collaborative Vocal Improvisation Community choir
  • Body Percussion
  • Drum Circle
  • Cooperation games
  • Community building practices

CONTENT

During the course, facilitators will impart participants with both theoretical foundations on music as an inclusive and cooperative practice and practical tools on circular and body music. The latter is intended as a musical practice that doesn't rely on conventional instruments but instead utilizes the body itself as an instrument, through vocalization, singing, rhythmic-percussive movement, or, if necessary, using percussion instruments crafted from recycled materials. The methodologies and experiences explored are rooted in a cooperative approach to music, emphasizing the active and collaborative participation of those involved. The proposed activities promote individual initiative and creativity, which simultaneously serve the community and common goals. The central focus of the training activities lies in specific choral singing and improvisation practices, including Collaborative Vocal Improvisation - CVI, Circlesinging, Community Choirs, and Body Percussion.

These practices are renowned for their accessibility to individuals without musical training at all levels. They are effective as social binders, fostering teamwork and community building. These characteristics make these practices suitable for diverse youth contexts (rural and urban, local and international, small and large groups, etc.) and for non-formal education processes. They also serve as embodied practices for processing themes of high emotional impact, such as the current climate crisis, social inequality, migration issues, among others.

Arrival day is Sunday 21th of June after 14:00.

Departure day is Monday 29th of June after breakfast.

You need to be able to attend to the full duration of the activity in order to participate.

Particpants from Italy, Poland, Serbia, France, Spain, Sweden, Denmark, Lithuania and Finland.
