Self-Confidence

This toolkit includes the problems faced by youngsters, especially those who do not experience success in the work nor in the academic contexts, alongside with suggestions on how music and the arts can help them overcome these problems. 

During the first phase of the project, all CoMusyc partners organized the so-called “Actiworkshops” at their headquarters, involving marginalized young people at risk of social exclusion. The workshops were conducted in 5 different European countries with a total of 100 youngsters.  

A series of difficult and frustrating daily situations that the participants in the workshops face in their life were identified and expressed through what was called “scenarios of activation”. A total of 50 scenarios of activation were collected, but, after reviewing them, it was clear that, despite the cultural and geographical differences, many of the identified problems overlapped.  The repeated ones were eliminated, giving a final total of 24 scenarios of activation. These 24 scenarios were organized in four different categories according to the nature of the problem.
