The second module focuses on the operational dimension, providing the tools to translate theory into project-based action. In this phase, music is explored as a mediator for human development, analyzing the methodologies of musical practice and defining targeted interventions for both specific age groups and needs (infancy, adolescence, older age, and intergenerational pathways), as well as for local social and socio-educational services (nurseries, play centers, youth aggregation centers, museums, and reception centers for migrants and refugees). Students will learn to design musical pathways aimed at promoting creative expression, active citizenship, and social inclusion.
Programme
The course is structured into two complementary modules that merge historical analysis with sociological inquiry. The first module, dedicated to the History and Sociology of Musical Languages, examines the evolution of music from Ancient Greece to the digital era as a reflection of social change. It analyzes how the transition from the ritual dimension to the streaming era has transformed human relationships and collective identity.The second module focuses on the operational dimension, providing the tools to translate theory into project-based action.
