Singing History for Democracy

Singing history for democracy is a project focused on democratic values and aimed at raising awareness of the important role that people’s participation plays on their preservation. Taking contemporary history as a content framework and musicals as an artistic way of expression of people’s voice, students are meant to work on musical songs showing how people have had to struggle for democracy, freedom and human rights throughout history in different ways and under diverse circumstances. Join us singing the songs in our playlist!

In songs words fly

En las canciones las palabras vuelan. That's the title of the eTwinning project in which 4ºB students have participated together with some other 365 partners from four different European countries in a large virtual classroom.
Songs and music as a way of self-expression and a source of comfort and support. From early ages in history up to now, songs have filled the life of people and have served the purpose of free speech about feelings, social issues, tradition, literature, sports and religion. These are the categories we have worked on throughout the project by listening, analysing lyrics and expressing opinion about them.

This is the resulting Top 6 Songs Playlist for everyone to enjoy singing along :)
