O papel da Fundação Mozart Vieira sob o olhar de alunos e ex-alunos

Abstract

This paper is a product of a qualitative research with case study, which aimed to investigate the role of Mozart Vieira Foundation, known before as Fundação Música e Vida de São Caetano, an ONG from São Caetano- PE in their students and alumni lives. There is a description of its actions, history, and the way in which music is used as a mean for change. Through the application of questionnaires to students and alumni, we aimed to understand and describe the importance of the foundation and the social functions of music, using the oeuvre of Freire (2011) and Hummes (2014) as a reference. Other authors, as Del Ben and Hentschke (2002), Faria (2018), Goldenberg (2000), Ilare (2007), Joly and Joly (2011), Kleber (2006, 2008), Mariani (2012), Oliveira (2003), Penna (2015), Penna; Barros; Mello (2012), Ribeiro (2013), Rossi (2001), Souza (2005) and Stake (2011) give the theory basis for this work, besides documental sources as the Master Plan, Pedagogical Plan, newspaper articles, informal conversations, videos, personal documents, websites, CD, movie, and my personal experience as student. Through these sources, it was possible conclude that the educational activities developed in ONGs, especially in Mozart Vieira Foundation, are important for its members and for society, a mean which can direct children and Young people towards an effective academic career, an opportunity to a future which seems to be many times impossible, due to the reality imposed by the configurations of our society nowadays.
