About the first workshop
The vibrant world of sound creation opens up as a space full of possibilities in primary and secondary school education or other informal contexts, serving as an effective vehicle for interdisciplinary learning and creative expression for students.
Digital tools such as "Aglaya Play" can represent a bridge between technology and creativity, allowing young people to explore the art of sound creation in a collaborative, intuitive, and accessible way. In the classroom, these technological platforms become not only a means for musical exploration and collective creation, but also a facilitator for developing crucial skills such as teamwork, communication, and critical thinking. In this environment, students can immerse themselves in the universe of sound in a playful and pedagogical way, where learning becomes a lively, dynamic, and interactive experience based on exploration and experimentation through sound.
