Reflections on the PARTIS & Art for Change (2021–2023)

Raizarte – An Orchestra, Three Communities
Orchestral project that combines learning music with artistic personal and social development.
Raizarte was designed for children between 9 and 12 years of age without easy access to artistic practices, being implemented in three different geographical areas on São Miguel Island, i.e. the municipalities of Ribeira Grande, Nordeste and Vila Franca do Campo.
Based on the assumption that music brings together people with different backgrounds, the project involved five dimensions: learning music and playing in an orchestra; creative experience and experimentation; personal and social skills development; promoting cultural consumption and exposure to diverse artistic experiences; and interactions between people with different backgrounds.
Project supported under the 1st edition of the PARTIS & Art for Change initiative, promoted by the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation and the ‘la Caixa’ Foundation.
