EDUCATIONAL PROJECTS

In a few hours, we can be introduced to the music, in a few days we can learn, in a few weeks we can deepen the knowledge and, in all cases, we can share the music and prepare for the stage.
M.A.M.’s artists are regularly invited to communicate their specialized practice to students in schools.
Educational projects are oft organized so as to lead to performances, by preparing workshop students for the stage. This approach values and enhances collective work.
M.A.M. regularly carries out these educational activities in the context of its tours and festivals, for regional (eg: PEPS in Hauts-de-France), departmental (eg: CDDC in Oise) or national (JMF, CCAS…) organizations, and for the Alliance Française network.
