Music at the margins research briefing: Exploring the musical lives of children living under direct provision

Abstract

This research briefing provides a summary of a participatory music research project with children of asylum seekers living in direct provision in the Mid-West of Ireland. The project explores the musical lives of children living in direct provision in order to inform data-driven policy and programmatic decisions. The project is funded by the Irish Research Council (IRC) and involves a key university-community partnership between Mary Immaculate College and Doras Luimní.
