Self-Confidence Through Music: the First 2 PRISMA Workshops

Expressing your musical creativity and transforming performance stress into a positive experience can make your university life better.

As part of the PRISMA research project aimed at promoting students’ well-being, the first LiberaMente Creative Music Lab organised by Ca' Foscari will begin soon. The registration deadline is 27 October 2024.

The workshop is open to all students with a good knowledge of a musical instrument or who can sing and will be led by two internationally renowned teachers: Paolo De Gaspari expert in Performance Class and Creative Music, bass clarinet professor at the Trinity Laban Conservatoire in London and Visiting Professor at the Royal Conservatoire of Birmingham, UK, and Mario Tiffi, musician, producer, arranger, and publisher.

PRISMA (Promote Individual and Social Resources in the Academic World, University for Well-Being) is a research project and a set of initiatives, tools and solutions, conceived by a network of eight Italian universities - including Ca' Foscari University - and the Academy of Fine Arts of Venice. The project's goal is to promote the psychological well-being of university students and to raise awareness within the entire academic community about the growing issue of pathological addictions.

The project was granted 2,750,000 euros by the Ministry of University and Research under Notice 1159 and the accompanying PRO-BEN call for applications. This funding aims to promote students’ psychological and physical well-being, combat psychological and emotional distress, investigate their lifestyles and the primary causes of their challenges, and provide essential tools to help them navigate the demands of university life.
