The LEGàMI CORàLI project intends to promote, increase, improve and stimulate ties between people, the environment, nature, citizenship, and the social context, through various activities that, through music and, above all, choral singing, can effectively pursue the objectives set out in the 2030 Agenda, with specific reference to the goal of providing quality, equitable and inclusive education and lifelong learning opportunities for all.

Here follows the specific activities that will be realised:

1. STRATEGIC LEGACIES
1.1 - Project management and establishment and activation of a project steering group.
1.2 - Preparation and implementation of a communication campaign.
1.3 - Design and coordination of the overall training plan and of the actions to be implemented.
1.4 - Choral evaluation: a structured in itinere and ex post evaluation activity is foreseen to support the project.

2. SCHOOL LEGACIES
2.1 - Cori di classe and CantaMi la scuola: actions aimed to promote music as an instrument of socialising at school, as a fundamental means of preventing school drop-out and youth distress, strengthening children's cognitive, relational and value skills.
2.2 - Coro Lab: an educational programme with the aim of training trainers.
2.3 - Inclusive and lifelong music education: round tables and conferences to promote good practices and educational experiences based on music and inclusionin all contexts of the Italian school system.
2.4 - Giro Giro Canto: creativity is fundamental to keep youth discomfort at bay and to prevent forms of deviance or addiction.
2.5 - Meetings and exchanges: when different choral realities meet on the same stage, we automatically witness alternative and complementary ways of conceiving musical sharing

3. INTER-GENERATIONAL LEGACIES
3.1 - Choral Trekking: immersive nature trails for age groups 0-99 with music and singing as a common theme.
3.2 - Circle Songs: intergenerational workshops that allow people to immerse themselves in the sound of the circle, feel community, stimulate creativity.
3.3 - Regional choirs: popular projects involving people from areas with different characteristics, cultures and special needs; they should be stimulated, supported and encouraged.
3.4 - Music alphabetisation: developing knowledge and competence corresponds to fostering the cultural and social growth of a country. Like the child who learns to read and write at school, those who make music need specific learning paths to learn the language of music.

4. SOLIDARITY LEGACIES
4.1 - Sing to me Mother: polyphonic singing workshops for women, created by women.
4.2 - Songs of solidarity: singing workshops and performances in challenging contexts, of hardship or with lonely people.
4.3 - Voices from the world: combining, mixing and assembling musical elements to tell a story starting from the emotional and sensorial involvement offered by experimenting new languages and listening to Mediterranean storytelling; moreover, shared listening to musical pieces and structured proposals of active musical explorations carried out also through ecological instruments. 

5. LEGACIES FOR THE FUTURE
5.1 - Youth Choral Camp: the focus on young people and the new generations is a key point in the programming of the entire choral network, not only as an investment for the future, aimed at training tomorrow's singers, but also and especially because of the importance of choral activity in the growth and development of each person, from many points of view.
5.2 - Officina corale: an original and unconventional training programme, with sessions of learning and collective and individual growth through direct experiences, addressed to the under-30s with a view to the 2030 Agenda.
5.3 - Growing talents: advanced training seminars for young conductors and composers, competitions and exchanges, educational sessions, pubblication of new compositions. 

6. ASSOCIATIVE LEGACIES
6.1 - A choral Third Sector: the strengthening of skills in the territories is a prerequisite for the growth of the entire choral network that refers to Feniarco. This is essential in order to undertake even more effective actions to achieve the statutory objectives and those set out in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
