This digital publication is the collection of all the activities carried out by the cooperative work of the European Partners of the Erasmus Plus THE DIFFERENT COLOURS OF MUSIC project. As the project is based on a Strategic partnership of « Cooperation and innovation and exchange of good practices », this E-book wants to provide a flexible and innovative educational/teaching material that can be used by teachers of all schooling cycles both to strengthen their own profile in teaching methodologies and to support and promote inclusive education through Non-Formal Learning activities based on music. The aim of this final product is to instill in readers the certainty and the trust that an inclusive society is possible, and that everyone can succed in his or her life. And we experimented this through the universal language of music.
The partnership is composed of schools and associations where disabled and Sen students are normally integrated in daily school activities. Three of our institutions are attended by visual impaired or blind students. So each activity was planned and carried out taking into consideration their abilities.

“The different colours of music” involves 8 institutions from 6 different countries: France, Greece, Italy, Poland, Portugal and the UK. Six of them are schools and 2 are associations.
The common context where our schools operate is characterized by the presence of students from social deprived background, SEN, immigrants and disabled, and with learning difficulties. We share the same interest for music: there are music courses and some students learn to play a musical instrument. We noticed that, not all students that wish to play, attend these courses, because there is a selection and buying an instrument is expensive. Moreover, the practice is often unsuitable for a student with physical disabilities. So a lot of students abandon their wish and lose their interest. We want to democratise the opportunity to play music, so that, the most part of our students could take advantage from it. We want to link together disabled, ordinary and talented individuals through the universal language of music and make them part of European inclusive communities.
Our main objective is to instill in students the awareness of human diversity, cultural and linguistics through music as a teaching resource in everyday practices that brings together and builds an inclusive school and a respectful society with diversity.

We want also to develop amongst all students, but in particular, those who are disabled or SEN, a sense of achievement and self worth; feel them part of an inclusive community; overcome prejudices against disability; enhance the quality of learning offer and foster equity and inclusion; enhance the ability to express themselves through music and the opportunity to experience the awe and wonder that immersion in such an art can bring to the soul. Playing music is one of the best means to achieve inclusion and a universal human activity a basic right for all.
