Discover a groundbreaking pedagogical framework developed by the DIVERSIA group at Rey Juan Carlos University, aimed at promoting social inclusion through art and creative expression in European heritage. This framework is part of the Erasmus+ project Delyramus et Laboramus, coordinated by the Rey Ardid Foundation, focusing on empowering adults with and without disabilities.
The framework utilizes cultural and artistic heritage, particularly Spanish and European heritage of ancient luthiers and early music, as a means to empower individuals, provide training, and create participatory spaces. It challenges traditional perceptions by proposing artistic heritage as a tool for social inclusion, acknowledging that art hasn’t always been considered inclusive. However, it highlights the potential of cultural heritage to enhance social cohesion and inclusivity, emphasizing music’s therapeutic role.
Through this framework, questions are raised regarding the effectiveness of using art as an instrument for social inclusion. Despite historical perceptions, the framework suggests that art has the capacity to foster connections among people, transcending barriers and promoting inclusivity.
The study encourages professionals and enthusiasts in European heritage to explore the transformative potential of cultural and artistic heritage in fostering social inclusion. By incorporating diverse perspectives and leveraging the therapeutic aspects of music, the framework offers innovative approaches to empower individuals and create more inclusive communities.
In conclusion, the pedagogical framework outlined in this study provides valuable insights into the role of cultural heritage in promoting social inclusion. It encourages a reevaluation of traditional approaches, emphasizing the importance of creative expression and participatory engagement in fostering a more inclusive society.
