On Stage! Music and arts for social change. The sound of education: how music and performing art can bolster social inclusion

On Stage! is a model to democratise the access to and the production of music and art with an integrated, cohesive and participative approach. The Transferred Practice is based on EMMCA (Escola Municipal de Música-Centre de les Arts) a public Municipal Arts Centre and Music, Drama and Dance School in L’Hospitalet de Llobregat, a city in the Metropolitan area of Barcelona. EMMCA offers group classes to all citizens, carries out curricular performing arts activities in primary schools, borrows instruments to its students, grants special prices to those who cannot afford to pay full fees. Since its opening, in 2005, over 50.000 people participated in school’s activities.
