​

The objective was to show them our culture, our education system, and our school: how we teach and how we learn; with our virtues but also our weaknesses and difficulties.
Picture
The first day we started off with the official launch. It was very exciting because it was the first time we were all together. The presentation included everyone from local politicians to representatives from the education department. Furthermore, there were other groups and associations (The Fundación Esfera The regional houses of Extremadura, Andalusia, Salamanca, and Castilla la Mancha, etc.) in attendance that are now interested in the project.

One of the objectives of this meeting was to agree upon the implementation of the next activities that will make up the project. Since inclusion is one of the fundamental pillars of “Music to All”, there were two related workshops. In the first, the organization of our education system was explained, as were procedures that are used with special needs students; Teachers even attended an open class with these students. In the second workshop, we explored our emotions through art.
