Our activities

In 36 months M4F aims at developing a high-quality training, so as to enable the young inmates themselves to be autonomous up to the running of a music production and mixing studio and facilitating access to possible professional outlets even before their release from prison.

Music for freedom activities

At the end of the project, in fact, the production studio will be entrusted mainly to the management of the inmates themselves, who will be able to work in it and, at the same time, continue to train other inmates through the non-formal methodology of peer-learning.

We will implement and compare at least 5 trials in different countries, of which we foresee a variety of efforts, from activating training paths (and then post-prison work development) to setting up mixing and production studios permanently organised and functioning within prison facilities.

We will include in the project both men and women under 30 and with different backgrounds, so that the full potential of the project can be explored, while ensuring equality and inclusion.

First, and then in parallel with the youth activity, the project will strengthen the musical and technical audio competencies for youth workers, to homogenise and strengthen with their skills through dedicated training courses.
