Orquestra de Afectos

Orquestra de Afectos worked on affective communication in the kindergarten through music, particularly through the voice, as a way of mitigating conflictual relationships that often result in the problems of the surrounding neighbourhoods being transferred to the school.

Centred on musical sessions, with a focus on vocal repertoire, it sought to develop affective relationships between children and adults, promote socialisation, communication and the development of soft skills.

Tatiana Ferreira “When we go to a session, it’s a box of surprises – you don’t know what will come out of it – but it ends up involving everyone who is there. There’s always magic in the midst of it all.”
Helena Lima “The ‘Canção do Amigo’ (Song of Friendship) is a hit, which they often sing to each other during recess. So you begin to see that there is indeed a form of communication in which music also plays a part and connects people on an emotional level.”
Elsa Matos Gomes “Hugs are always very memorable. Sometimes when we meet them outside of context, or later on, the first thing they do is run up to us and give us a hug.”
Clara, Diego e Lara “– Was your heart beating fast?” “– Yes.” “– Why do you think that was? What were you feeling?” “– Happy?”
