I Too Sense Music!
On December 3, 2024, for the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, we organised the online workshop "I Too Sense Music - Music Therapy for Children with Deafblindness and Sensory Disabilities".
Together with Carmen-Venera Pătruțescu, psychologist, and Alex Lupo, therapist, musician, composer and performer, part of the Sense Arts and Wellbeing programme, we delved into the secrets of music therapy, learning together about the beneficial effects of music.
PATIENCE, CURIOSITY and PASSION FOR MUSIC are the main ingredients in music therapy, as Carmen and Alex told us.
Campaign in schools
In December, Sense International Romania is running the campaign "I Too Sense Music - music therapy for children with deafblindness and multiple sensory disabilities". Sense International Romania purchased musical instrument kits adapted to the needs of children with sensory disabilities, which were distributed and donated to partner schools involved in the project. Partner schools will carry out music therapy activities, using the purchased musical instruments. These sessions will be adapted to the specific needs of children with deafblindness, allowing them to experience vibrations and sounds in a way that stimulates the senses.
We thank sponsors and partners!
The costs of these intruments are covered by donations and sponsorships received by the Sense International Romania from businesses and companies. We thank them from the bottom of our hearts for always being with us!
