HS Sprint project:
‘Music’s Mental Toolbox’

Project lead: Julian Schaap
Partners: Cult North Rotterdam, Popunie Rotterdam
Team: Cynthia Liem (TUD), Robbert Goverts (EUR), Nadia van Vuuren (EUR), Mitchell Samson (Cult North Rotterdam), Martin Scheijgrond (Popunie Rotterdam)

Summary

This project explores music’s role towards well-being and societal engagement among young people in Rotterdam. In focus groups we initially explore music’s impact on participants’ wellbeing and engagement. This is followed by a public Music Talks event, in collaboration with Popunie and Cult North. The generated insights culminate in a co-created, social-mediafriendly audiovisual handbook – ‘Music’s Mental Toolbox’ – providing practical guidance on music, well-being, and engagement, tailored to Rotterdam’s youth but with direct relevance for adolescents and young adults more broadly.
