Music as a Tool for Interculturalism

Abstract

The world is always more connected. The result of this advance is globalization, a factor that silently affects daily life. Migratory movements have modified the environment, generating cosmopolitan cities, enriched by cultural diversity. This is reflected in the increasing variety of students. So, it is necessary to propose strategies that normalize this coexistence, taking advantage of this ethnic and cultural fusion. The goal is to offer an education based on respect and meaningful learning. This reality is a challenge for teachers. The objective of any lecturer should be focused on training future citizenship. This project, carried out at the Education Faculty of Albacete, University of Castilla La Mancha, (Spain) was implemented in the subject 'Musical Perception and Expression' during the 2022/2023 course. It has tried to highlight the cultural richness inherent in the music, folklore, and dances of different places. Music has been revealed as an ideal vehicle to share cultures.
