Abstract

This study investigates the impact of the Batucando a Esperança project on social transformation through music in community contexts. Thus, the central objective is to analyze how the project’s practices contribute to active participation, inclusion and empowerment, promoting social change and strengthening community ties. Adopting a qualitative approach, the study involves a literature review with direct observation of pedagogical practices. Data collection seeks to understand the effectiveness of the methodological strategies used. The results highlight the active participation and engagement of the community in the musical activities, evidencing the effectiveness of the pedagogical practices. Inclusion is perceived in the diversity of participants involved. The interpretations consolidate the positive impact on the participants’ self-esteem and sense of community. It is concluded that the Batucando a Esperança project plays a significant role in social transformation, using music as a catalyst. Methodological practices not only teach music, but create a transformative experience, strengthening social bonds, inspiring positive changes in the community, and contributing to the understanding of the potential of music as an agent of social transformation in community contexts
