The Learning & Participation Department of the Greek National Opera participates in the first phase of the Hellenic Ministry of Culture’s Cultural Prescription Pilot Projects with two trimestral cycles of music therapy workshops titled Women’s Paths and Bridges: Exploring Women’s Experiences through Voice, Music, and Storytelling. The programme aims to expand and bring out the psychotherapeutic properties of the arts. During the workshops, participants will have the opportunity to enjoy musical experiences based on the use of fundamental music therapy techniques, such as improvisation, performance, composition, and music listening. These techniques are related to singing, vocal exercises, playing musical instruments, and storytelling through analysis of the lyrics and narration of stories. The programme also includes attending selected opera, music theatre, and ballet performances.

The programme is part of the Hellenic Ministry of Culture’s Cultural Prescription Pilot Projects, which falls under the “NextGenerationEU” programme that is funded by the National Recovery and Resilience Plan “Greece 2.0.”
