«DrumPower Against Violence» – Outlook
We plan to do a lot with «DrumPower»: in the intermediate term we are seeking sponsorship of individual projects which we continue to offer at model schools. If we succeed in obtaining additional sponsorship funding, then we will announce further projects for which classes in other schools may apply. From previous announcements and conversations with school directors and teachers, we know that there is great interest in this.
We offer the method «DrumPower» in our further education programme for music therapists and educators. By training engaged therapists and teachers, we are able to promote the method's dissemination – successes in schools in Erlangen, Hamburg, Vienna and Bern attest to this. We are very pleased that on the basis of our developing this concept, more and more children are benefiting from «DrumPower».
In the long term we will develop «DrumPower» further. To do this, funding is likewise necessary, which makes possible the implementation of several projects, attracting full-time trainers as well as continued scientific monitoring and project leadership. This requires the long term support of sponsors, whether as individuals or as a group, who wish to become involved in a common interest.
As recent years have shown us, these are visionary ideas. However, the positive results obtained precisely during these years give us hope of finding people who will help us to make this vision a reality.
