Resumo(s)
Esta investigação foi desenvolvida segundo uma metodologia de investigação-ação. Procurou-se compreender de que forma a música, enquanto prática coletiva e expressiva, pode promover a inclusão comunitária e o reconhecimento social de pessoas com deficiência intelectual ligeira ou moderada. A intervenção foi realizada em três contextos distintos: com adolescentes, jovens e idosos. Os adolescentes e jovens participaram das atividades em ambiente escolar, enquanto os idosos estiveram num lar residencial. Através de 6 sessões musicais participativas em cada um dos contextos, procurou-se criar espaços de encontro, expressão simbólica e cooperação, nos quais a música assumiu o papel de ponte de comunicação entre participantes com e sem deficiência. A recolha de dados foi efetuada em dois momentos distintos - pré e pós intervenção - através de questionários e entrevistas em focus group e na observação participante, permitindo identificar mudanças positivas na perceção social e afetiva nos grupos intervencionados, expressas em narrativas que deslocam o foco da deficiência para as competências da pessoa com deficiência intelectual. Os resultados sugerem que a vivência musical, quando intencionalmente orientada para a inclusão, possui um potencial transformador das relações comunitárias, contribuindo para novas formas de reconhecimento, da participação social e da cidadania.
This research was developed according to an action-investigation methodology. It sought to understand how music, as a collective and expressive practice, can promote community inclusion and social recognition of people with mild or moderate intellectual disabilities. The intervention was carried out in three different contexts: with adolescents, young people, and the elderly. The adolescents and young adults participated in activities in a school environment, while the elderly participated in a residential home. Through six participatory music sessions in each context, the aim was to create spaces for gathering, symbolic expression and cooperation, in which music acted as a bridge of communication between participants with and without disabilities. Data collection was carried out at two different times: pre- and post-intervention, using questionnaires and focus group interviews and participant observation. This allowed us to identify positive changes in social and emotional perception in the intervention groups, that were expressed in narratives that shift the focus from disability self to the skills of people with intellectual disabilities. The results suggest that the musical experience, when intentionally oriented towards inclusion, has the potential to transform community relations, contributing to new forms of recognition, social participation and citizenship.
