Education is the means
to change society
We aim to contribute to those changes in education that lead society towards fairer, more sustainable,
happier and meaningful ways of living.
We deem music and listening unparalleled sources of education, and the arts key to educate young and adult learners.
WHAT WE DO
Our Courses and Seminars cover topics connected to developing listening skills, music and art integration, language skills, philosophy and educational sciences.
With 15 years of experience in designing and delivering European Union funded projects, we have contributed to innovations into formal and non formal education settings, especially in the areas of arts integration at multiple levels, of social inclusion enhancement and of free thinking.
Our cultural events span from concerts, festivals, conferences, exhibitions, meaningful rendezvous into nature, and other creative and/or more traditional ways of conveying cultural enjoyment and moments of peace, beauty, vision and community spirit.
