“Social Change from Within: Learning Human Values Through Music”

“Social Change from Within: Learning Human Values Through Music”

This presentation from the 2019 El Sistema USA National Symposium was led by Thomas Madeja, Dalia Chin and Andrea Benavides (Chicago Metamorphosis Project).

About the session:

Social change, altering society’s behavior patterns and cultural values in a positive way over time, is the primary goal for most El Sistema programs. As we all know, music is an excellent catalyst for this ongoing process. Yet, how do the elements of our programming contribute? From daily lesson content, to curriculum planning, to special projects, and assessment, we will explore ways to enhance the potential impact Education in Human Values (EHV) can have on successfully cultivating real, tangible social change in our communities.
