Monday afternoon, around fifty students from the Jean-Rostand college in Classes with timetables arranged with music (Cham) visited the residents of the Lesbazeilles hospital for dependent elderly people (Ehpad). These middle school students in 6th and 5th grade are students of the Conservatoire des Landes and learn music during school time. Some are just starting out, others have already had several years of practice. Two music teachers accompanied them on guitar and violin.
Social cohesion
The goal was not simply to offer a recital to the residents, but to interact with the college students. To do this, three musical pieces were chosen. An African song, “Bamboli” made the walls resonate with exotic notes. A musical track of body percussion invited the spectators to keep the rhythm. Finally, Bourvil’s famous song “La tendesse” was a moment of intense emotion! Many people know her, and were quick to applaud in time. The magical sound of the violin was extremely moving.
“This project aims to encourage establishments to create strong links between generations, in line with sustainable development objectives,” explains Jeena Barndaro, a college professor who initiated the event. This outing is fully in line with our objectives, adds Christelle Dubourdieu, teacher accompanying the students of the establishment. By highlighting values such as solidarity, social inclusion and living together, by encouraging students to create links with nursing home residents, we contribute to strengthening social cohesion, an essential pillar of sustainable development. . »
This project could be promoted as part of the college’s E3D approach, by showing that the establishment is taking concrete action for sustainable development integrating social and educational aspects.
