We have developed during the project 13 educational workshop methods to help non-formal education youth workers lead music listening activities, music appreciation activities and discussions about what they have heard, thus developing young people's ability to formulate personal attitudes, explore their identity, and develop critical thinking, communication and cooperation skills.

We came up with a lot of good ideas, and as a result, 3 more methods were created in addition to the 10 initially planned, 6 methods are available to use in online settings. When developing the methods, we paid special attention to make them flexible and easily adaptable, so that they could be used and applied by the widest possible range of interested parties. Our hope is that this will make the methods interesting for youth workers, teachers and young people both with and without musical background and for different numbers of participants.

The manual starts with the method Listen Up! that can be an effective way to divide participants into separate groups, but can be also used to find common ground and encourage musical discussion.

A similar objective can be achieved using the method Anthem, but here participants from separate pairs end up together in one big group that can be characterised with on one song that best fits the groupˋs vision and values.

A great energizer that involves music listening and drama is Music Genre Charades, where participants can act out musical expressions through improvisation etudes.

Another method that encourages participants to listen attentively to different musical cultures and genres and to investigate music through movement is Dancing Sacred Object.

Rhythm Chairs is a fun and energising musical exercise, where participants have to work together in rhythm and feel the beat to complete the task.

To develop awareness and understanding of one's own unique voice, the method Voiceprint was created. When participants have found their voiceprint, it's possible to join together in a well-known song.

The method Aural Awareness is a guided music listening activity where participants learn to describe musical elements and share experience to become more aware of the diversity of people and cultures.

Blues Music Lab is a music creation activity where participants learn to sing and play 12-bar blues to learn musical elements and make an original blues song.

To share musical heritage and discuss common and divergent musical tastes across generations, the method Intergenerational Playlist can be used. This method will require more time, because participants should do preparation work - an interview, so it is better to plan activities over two days.

The method Music and Lyrics allows participants to discuss current affairs and analyse song lyrics, tackle different subjects, expand their vocabulary and ability to express themselves.

A musical citizenship activity where participants reflect and discuss heroism and civic engagement with the help of music examples is called Musical Heroes.

A method Listen and Draw - an artistic expression while listening offers participants the chance to listen, draw, share and explain, and make a group collage to become more aware of their own emotions and feelings.

The manual concludes with the method Describe Your Mood, that gives participants the opportunity to share a song that best describes the mood or experience, providing a verbal evaluation.

We described all methods following a standardised format. A summary of the method is provided at the beginning, followed by objectives and a step-by-step description of how to conduct the activity with suggestions for the facilitator. A step-by-step outline is added for the methods that are available to run online.
