Abstract
In recent years there have been significant changes in the value of the school, the phenomena of globalization and migration have led to increasing multiculturalism in schools, claiming to develop a greater emotional competence among students. This work is based on the value of music as a resource for teaching a country’s own culture and to facilitate the inclusion of immigrant and native students, which is represented in the intervention program we designed called: dum-dum.
We focus on the societal role of musical rhythm, as well as its potential to help the inclusion of multicultural school groups, by teaching the values of coexistence. In this research we present some practical activities used in a pilot project to work in primary social inclusion developed in twelve public schools in Madrid where we carry out our study.
