divider_1

This course breaks the barriers of the traditional academic faculty, bringing the benefits of music to a wider community than usual. The University’s innovative work takes music to people with dementia, encourages prisoners to write operas and promotes music technology for the disabled. Music has also been introduced to children in Bosnia-Herzegovina to treat post-traumatic stress disorders.
