We are pleased to announce that the Music Workshops by Heimat Srl have been selected among the activities included in “Ibridi: free activities for families”, an initiative promoted by Compagnia di San Paolo Foundation as part of Mission 7 – Hybrid Educational Spaces and Contexts of the Education Strategy, and carried out by the Xkè? ZeroTredici Consortium.

The project builds on well-established experiences such as La Bella Stagione and Racconti Reali, gathering lessons learned in the field to offer families new forms of non-formal learning. After an initial preview in spring 2024, Ibridi now returns with a rich calendar of opportunities, accessible via the dedicated app IBRIDI.APP.

Heimat Srl’s Music Workshops within the Ibridi project

Heimat Srl joins the project with an initiative centered on music as a universal and inclusive language: an itinerant body percussion workshop in the heart of Turin.

Body percussion allows everyone to take part in the experience, without instruments or prior skills. Hands, fingers, chest and legs become musical tools, turning the body into a small orchestra. It is a practice that stimulates rhythm and coordination, fosters creativity and—above all—creates immediate connections, breaking down linguistic and cultural barriers.

Heimat’s workshop will take the form of a one-hour musical walk through the city center, where children and families will experiment with body percussion exercises and enjoy a moment of active, fun and shared learning.

A project based on learning by doing

Educational literature and pedagogical practice have long emphasized the value of non-formal learning for the development of cognitive, social and emotional skills. Ibridi aims to respond to this need by creating a city-wide calendar of free activities for children aged 6 to 13.

The activities, taking place in various locations across Turin from November 2025 to May 2026, will allow families to explore unconventional urban contexts, discover new spaces and enjoy educational experiences outside school hours. The goal is to activate a network of cultural and social organizations willing to renew their methodologies and offer inclusive, accessible and complementary opportunities to those already available.
