The Mosaic Art and Sound (UK) is a private company based in London and working in the field of education and culture. The main activities are related to research and applications of music as a science and an art.
The Mosaic organizes courses, seminars and lectures, locally and internationally, on the educational and therapeutic effects of sound and music. It also produces educational multimedia products and organizes music cultural events.
The Mosaic Art And Sound has developed teaching modules for adult education that provide a very effective tool to enhance listening skills and intuitive intelligence. The modules were tested and evaluated at EU level and were born from the work of a previous EU partnership, Grundtvig 1 project ‘Euphony Implementing Teacher Knowledge’ www.euphonyeurope.eu , that was designed to develop teaching modules based on a series of techniques derived from the study and experience of the effects of sound and music on the human being and the environment. Currently, The Mosaic is spreading the modules in various European countries, expanding the research through various projects and liaising with the national Councils.
The Mosaic Art And Sound is recently working on international cultural projects connected to humanitarian activities through music and promoting group experiences aimed at balancing mind and emotions.
Participation to the proposed Partnership is seen as an opportunity for our learners to gain first hand experience in working alongside colleagues from diverse cultures and social backgrounds. One of the aims is to achieve common goals for which a range of latent or new skills will be required from each individual participant. Through the project, the Mosaic Art and Sound’s learners would therefore be able to have contacts and work with other organizations at a European level.
Problem addressed:
In the UK, groups of migrants from all over the world are continuously being added to the existing society.
As noted in a recent Home Office report, migrants are geographically much more concentrated than the UK population as a whole – more than 40 per cent of migrants live in London, making up 26 percent of London’s population. International migration is expected to play an important role in London’s future population growth.
Migrants are also heavily concentrated elsewhere in the south of England and urban areas in general.
It is recognised that as well as bringing diversity, entrepreneurs, labour and other resources to local areas, migrant concentration can also place additional demands on local services.
Their sustainable growth and social inclusion is a challenge. To explore cultural background, education, training needs and aspirations of the new migrants is a pressing task.
With this project, besides the general tasks, we would like to make a little contribution to an improvement of migrants’ psychological and psychosocial well-being, through meetings where our reciprocal music background is shared, by means of exchanging traditional and creative new songs. This will promote emotional understanding and language skills and will create an atmosphere of joyous exchange among all the European project’s partners and the local groups, as a celebration of diversity and respect.
The natural follow-up would be that the local community would continue the human/cultural exchange with an action plan and through internet communication and future projects.
