Stave House in the Sahara
Following an adaptation of the innovative music teaching method Stave House, "Stave House in the Sahara" aims to facilitate the implementation of music education in primary schools in the Saharawi refugee camps (SW Algeria). VISIT BLOG.
During Feb-Apr 2016, ethnomusicologist Violeta Ruano - who has done extensive research on Saharawi music and has been trained as a music teacher by Stave House - travelled to the Saharawi refugee camps to work with a group of 30 children (year 1) for a period of 9 weeks, leading them through the first steps of the level 1 of the Stave House method in a combination of English and Arabic/Hassaniya (their native language).

This pilot stage also included the training (in Stave House method and English language) of 3 Saharawi teachers who are being key for the adaptation of the method to the particularities of Saharawi culture and to continue the project in the future. This training has been sponsored by Sandblast with a £500 grant. The pilot has been closely monitored and documented with the aim of producing a written report and a promo documentary that can help us with future developments and funding applications.
