Sinfónica Azteca: Empowering Young Musicians Across Mexico, the Americas, and Beyond

10-01-2025

The story of Sinfónica Azteca begins about five years ago, when the world was just beginning to reemerge from the COVID-19 pandemic. Across the globe, music programs and youth orchestras were struggling to survive. The need to restore trust in live music and reignite enthusiasm among young musicians had never been greater.

In Mexico, this posed a double challenge, since we had always lacked a national youth orchestra capable of uniting the country’s young musicians in high-caliber, immersive artistic experiences.

A Space to Be: What One Classroom Taught Me about Art, Listening, and Inclusion

09-03-2025

This was a Mus-e session at a public primary school in Genova, Italy, in a room filled with light, nervous energy and about 20 children in motion. Some moved eagerly. Some hung back. Some followed Olivia Giovannini, the teaching artist leading the session. Others wandered in their own rhythm. Throughout it all, something subtle was happening: no one was being excluded. 

In the Democratic Republic of Congo, Music Moves Us Forward

07-09-2025

In the North Kivu Province of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), the capital city of Goma sits between several mining towns and valuable minerals. Part of an active volcanic region rich in resources, the city serves as an essential transport hub for the nation—and, more importantly, as home to nearly 2 million people, many of whom have been displaced.

This past year, those 2 million have lived through extraordinarily difficult circumstances as the rebel group known as M23—the March 23 Movement—took control of the city. But perhaps none are more affected than the children. Over 2,000 schools in the region have been closed, with many thousands of students displaced and forced to witness the horrors of war, including the deaths of loved ones. As the fighting continues, these young people have been increasingly isolated and ignored, left without opportunities to connect with one another, explore their feelings, and celebrate joy.

And yet, as Workshop Leader Rene Byamungu writes, joy has persisted in North Kivu through music:

Reggae Roots at Sistema Toronto – Jane Finch

06-04-2025

Working in this field has shown us how a diverse, inclusive curriculum can activate a student’s passion and sense of self. At Sistema Toronto, our goal is to have repertoires that represent our students and the communities they live in. With that in mind, Sistema Toronto invited Juno-nominated reggae artist Jah’Mila to work with students at our Jane Finch Centre this March as part of a months-long exploration of reggae music titled Reggae Roots. Our students spent January and February preparing for three days of workshops led by Jah’Mila and a culminating concert.

En el Circo Social Sirkhane, la cooperación cultural no es un acto de equilibrismo

03-05-2025

El Circo Social Sirkhane es algo más que un lugar donde aprender técnicas circenses: es un santuario de alegría, curación y expresión creativa para niños que han sufrido el trauma de la guerra, el desplazamiento y la inestabilidad social. Con sede en Mardin (Turquía), cerca de la frontera con Siria, Sirkhane ofrece un entorno seguro y enriquecedor en el que niños de diversos orígenes -sirios, turcos, iraquíes y kurdos- se reúnen para aprender, actuar y jugar.

Diseño Universal para el Aprendizaje: Un ajuste natural para los programas inspirados en El Sistema

10-02-2024

Imagina que estás subiendo una escalera que lleva a la entrada de un colegio y te fijas en un cartel que dice: "rampa situada en la puerta trasera". De acuerdo, la señal y la rampa hacen que el edificio sea técnicamente accesible, pero una persona que no pueda utilizar las escaleras tiene que ir hasta la parte trasera del edificio, localizar la rampa y esperar que la puerta esté abierta.

¿Y si, en lugar de una escalera delante y una rampa separada detrás, el arquitecto hubiera creado una pasarela que incorporara escaleras y rampas, todo en el mismo sitio?

Esta es la metáfora fundamental del Diseño Universal para el Aprendizaje (DUA).
