Music and Dance: New Educational Challenges
Recent debates on education have emphasized the need to develop creativity, to improve communicative skills, and the ability to work collaboratively, contributing to the promotion of citizenship. The performing arts of music and dance, in both specialized and generalist programs of education, represent privileged sites for the promotion of citizenship. What role might ethnomusicological and ethnochoreological research play in this process? What theoretical and practical propositions might we offer in curricula, in teacher training, in the management of inter/multiculturalism, in the integration of schools within communities and in assuring their engagement with social development in general?

Musical Knowledge Management at the Basic School argues for an approach that fosters communication between tacit and explicit knowing and between school and society through music processes and products. Departing from theoretical proposals originated in the 1960s and developed by the turn of the millennium, it uses data from a research on urban schools of Loures, close to Lisbon, with the support of FCT, CMLoures and SONAE.  
Gestão do Conhecimento Musical na Escola Básico argumenta uma abordagem que desenvolve a comunicação entre o conhecimento tácito e o explicito, e entre a escola e a sociedade através de processos e produtos musicais. Partindo de propostas teóricas apontadas nos anos 60 e desenvolvidas na mudança do milénio, usa dados de uma pesquisa em escolas urbanas de Loures, próximo de Lisboa, com o apoio da FCT, CMLoures e SONAE.
