February 9-10 – The Ripple Effect: Integrating Empathy Building Skills Through Multicultural Music and Children’s Literature
Presented by Manju Durairaj, Westchester, IL
This workshop addresses a growing need for building empathy in young students so that they can negotiate the world in a healthy and responsible manner. The workshop also illustrates optimal use of interactive technology like interactive boards, iPads and tablets within an active music-making setting. Through movement, singing, playing instruments, body percussion, active listening and composing activities students work cooperatively. Think critically and refer to collaboration rubrics while developing creative solutions to issues of bullying, gender identity, refugee and immigrant situations, poverty, racial and ethnic similarities and differences, and being labeled and stereotyped.
