It's a fact that multiculturalism is a reality in the classrooms in all European countries and the response to this situation shouldn't be expected to come from the institutions or the administration but from schools themselves and professionals. Teachers may find powerful tools for this answer in music, dance, literature, games... since they are considered collective activities which let children start learning in a different and playful way. All these activities appear to be a rich heritage as they are transmitted from parents to children containing the essence of knowledge, beliefs and customs of each culture. They may have many different styles and structures according to the historical period, the geographical area or the culture they come from, expressing the deepest human feelings. At the end of the work there is a section that includes the authors' conclusions and the valuation of the students who attended the lectures.
Interculturality can be worked with music through all its elements like the song, the dance, the instruments... Educating through Interculturality means to teach students a non-racist point of view, favouring a peaceful climate and a tolerant and respectful behaviour.
Musical Education is great for self-knowledge and to strengthen the relationship with the others. So that this makes possible the conditions of respect, tolerance and equality that must be priority in all the activities that teachers develop with their students. Furthermore, intercultural musical activities encourage collaboration in front of discrimination; cooperation and aid opposed to the individuality of the human being; solidarity instead of competition. In other words, respect and tolerance in front of exclusion.It's a fact that multiculturalism is a reality in the classrooms in all European countries and the response to this situation shouldn't be expected to come from the institutions or the administration but from schools themselves and professionals.
