StagePassImagine Molly (15 years and 4 months old) who is strumming her guitar in her bedroom in Inishowen or Daan (16 years of age) who is beating a drum to a different beat in Friesland. They are tuned out from their peer group - the people in their classroom, those walking outside in the school yard, those on the school bus. They are watching their peers on snapchat, glancing at their feeds on Instagram or locating them on SnapMaps - but they are not connecting. They feel they have little in common with the InstaQueens, the team shots from the football club, the birthday gatherings or the nights out at local disco.StagePass is all about tapping into their creativity and growing and polishing their skill set so they can connect, record, play together and perform together for us all to enjoy. Using digital connections, for now because of COVID-19, and building capacity and the ‘virtual’ infrastructure as a digital readiness element, StagePass will be a space where they will participate, grow their confidence and share in intercultural learning. StagePass is targeting – teens who are in education - they are predominantly tuned out from their peers but tuned into the sound of music. At risk from isolation and being disconnected and engaging only with a virtual world of too many unknowns – too many disconnects - too many broken promises. StagePass offers a chance to put a spotlight onto promoting their positive mental health and well-being and taking it forward as they connect and reconnect.In line with the Erasmus+ goals StagePass will be about improving a core set of key competences and skills in tandem with promoting European values - respect for human dignity, freedom, democracy, equality, the rule of law and respect for human rights. The partners involved will engage with the young people (aged 14-17yrs old x 12+ students per partner = 60+), educators (primarily schools through Transition Year (TY) but also VET - Leaving Cert Applied or YouthReach x #8), industry and employers to develop a pathway through school to employment be that in performance arts or otherwise. These are young people who have a passion for music or a glimmering interest at the very least. StagePass will reinforce creativity in education and take this opportunity to develop learning tools, resources, or training that foster creativity, culture and multiculturalism through the sound of music. Young people will be engaged as active citizens in their own destiny and future through the arts. They will learn the skills delivered by their creative educators (Music, Art, Design, Technology, Woodwork, Technical drawing, fabrication) alongside the music industry performance and production experts. There will be curriculum, training and education packs developed in core hands on arenas such as:- 1.Social Media and young influencers2.Digital skills and production3.Communications and PR4.Performance skillset 5.Commercialisation - user experience6.Entrepreneurship mindset (‘gig’ economy synergies with session musicianship)Their music will be developed, practiced, performed, produced and aired. This will be supported by a series of Masterclasses delivered by industry experts in areas such as music production, sound and songwriting as examples. There will be five mini events to showcase their work in development - 5Tunes5Countries. They will work towards a pan European performance at a festival/concerts – #TuneIn #StagePass. There will be outputs such as StagePass lanyards, wellies, Ponchos, branded hoodies, beanie hats, etc, all the things young people would need for a festival. StagePass will establish virtual networks and collaboration models to stimulate intercultural engagement and encourage creative mind-sets. COVID-19 permitting a team of educators and learners will travel to partner countries to promote learning opportunities in creative spaces and cultural heritage sites. This will include creative residencies for musicians, producers and influencers. StagePass will be using digital ways of creating, managing, and delivering creative products, cultural goods and events.The project will be approached as a pilot test/proof of concept and will have a radical difference approach to previous ErasmusPlus projects by delivering outputs to the students at each stage of their development to be implemented using a UX (user experience approach). StagePass will be a test bed from which StagePass can be replicated and scaled and further projects can develop to a wider target audience of school children. Work Packages with Intellectual Outputs (IO)IO1 Proof of Concept Parameters and Regional Engagement IO2 Teachers Programmes and Student Digital Learning Packs IO3 Totaliser Platform IO4 Curriculum DevelopmentIO5 Community and Performances PlatformStagePass values are intercultural learning, participation and confidence. We will grow these in the students participating in this innovative project.
