Course on the Psycho-pedagogical Aspects R4I003
Music and rhythm based activities, body movement, kinetic and dance inspired interventions are well known and evidence-based practices that are commonly used in clinical or psycho-educational and school contexts.
Playing and engaging in rhythmic activities in the context of a stable, structured, and flexible framework is likely to enhance the potential of students, especially those who experience difficulties and vulnerabilities.
This course explores how music/rhythm based activities including body movement, music and dance therapy can be used as an essential tool, method and strategy to help “vulnerable” children and “children struggling with internal or external difficulties and adversities” at school, in the family or society.
Objectives
The art based interventions seek to produce changes at three main levels:
- the psychological/ intrapersonal,
- the bio-physical/ somatic understanding and
- the interactional/ interpersonal level of child/ teenager functioning.
