Activities
Five connected activities move RISE from coordination and method development to training, youth-led testing, and wider dissemination.
How the work fits together
The activities are designed to build on one another. Partners first establish a strong working process, then develop and test methods, build professional capacity, involve young people directly, and share what has been learned.
Feedback and reflection run through the whole project. This allows the partnership to adjust activities as learning emerges and to document not only what was done, but why it worked and how others can adapt it.
Activity 1
This activity keeps the partnership aligned and the project moving responsibly. It includes coordination meetings, communication routines, division of responsibilities, progress monitoring, documentation, quality review, and evaluation. Clear structures make it easier for partners to solve problems early and keep the work connected to the agreed goals.
Activity 2
Partners collect relevant practices, compare their approaches, and create a shared framework for inclusive, music-based youth work. Draft activities are discussed and tested, then adapted through international exchange and local feedback. The learning will be organised into a practical handbook that facilitators can use and modify.
Activity 3
Youth workers take part in hands-on learning focused on using music and creativity in safe, inclusive ways. Training covers facilitation, participation, adaptation, reflection, and the role of creative activities in supporting wellbeing. Participants can then bring the methods into their own everyday practice.
Activity 4
Young people participate in workshops where the emerging methods are used in practice. Their experiences and ideas are an essential part of the development process. The try-outs explore what supports engagement, what creates barriers, and how activities can be made more welcoming, flexible, and meaningful.
Activity 5
RISE communicates its work through the project website, digital content, partner networks, and an online webinar. The handbook and facilitator resources will make the methods available beyond the partnership. Dissemination focuses on clear, usable material that can support continued practice across Europe.
RISE methodology
RISE uses music-based non-formal learning to encourage self-expression, participation, cooperation, and wellbeing. Facilitators focus on creating supportive environments where there are different ways to join in and no expectation of previous musical experience.
Activities can be adapted for the group, setting, and available resources. Reflection helps participants recognise their own learning, while feedback helps facilitators continue improving the process.
