Since the 5th grade students of CEIP San José Obrero created the first musical life stories in the 2017-18 school year and placed them in their soundscapes, they have reached many people in other contexts. Their music loaded with experiences have been heard in many places through the different forms that their landscapes have been taking when they became postcard landscapes and were sent by mail thanks to the support of the PLANEA network. Here you can see the origin and evolution of the Sanjomix musical life story panels.

Creation of the panels at CEIP San José Obrero

5th grade / academic year 2017-18

Between 2017 and 2019, the first 2 years of the Sanjomix project, the 5th grade students created musical life stories and mixed them into group collage landscapes. In them, the chosen songs were contextualized with family experiences, reflecting the diverse cultural backgrounds of the students and their families in the classroom. You can explore this emotional music archive at play.antropoloops

Exhibition at the MUAC Festival

In April 2017 the 5th grade students participated in the MUAC showing the work they had done on their musical life stories to other groups of students from other schools.

It was very exciting to see how they told it and how the audience responded to activate the soundscapes by connecting with each other. We ended up making a big chain to play some of the stories on the panels with the Makey Makey.

Exhibition at the BigBang Festival

The soundscapes made by the 5th grade students in the 2017-18 academic year were prepared to be exhibited during the Big Bang festival in Seville, a European network of music festivals for children. Our students, already in 6th grade, visited the exhibition to present it to the families who visited it on the opening day.

Postcards

After finishing the Sanjomix project, we thought it would be nice to share the stories of its students and the dynamics we had developed, so that they could serve as inspiration for other schools. With the support of the PLANEA network, we generated a didactic resource and adapted the panels so that they could be sent by mail, with instructions for use :)

The panels were sent to the following schools:

  • Ies Salvador Távora (Seville)
  • Ies Concha Méndez Cuesta (Málaga)
  • Ceip Diecinueve De Julio (Jaén)
  • Ceip Huerta De Santa Marina (Seville)
  • Ceip Giner De Los Ríos (Madrid)
  • Institut Escola Sant Quintí De Mediona (Barcelona)

With the Centro Riojano De Innovación Educativa, we also traveled :) and gave an in-person training workshop to teachers who then adapted the idea to their contexts in very different ways: see workshop in La Rioja

Exhibition at the Festivalito el Cerezo

Back from their various trips, the panels were exhibited in the neighborhood as part of the remix and encounter day that we organized together with Factoría Cultural at Plaza Playa de Isla Canela

CEIP San José Obrero entrance hall

After their many trips, the panels returned to the entrance hall of CEIP San José Obrero, where the students continue to listen to them at recess and the families who come to enroll their children... from Sanjomix to the entire galaxy
