A key part of the Songs for Rights Methodology are the five key principles (PIJEQ). These are used to design our workshops in order to adapt them to specific target groups, monitor, and evaluate them:

P – PARTICIPATION (voluntary, safe, equal, inclusive, and collective participation in decisions, processes, learning, and outcomes)

I – INSPIRATION (foster creativity and inspire participants to be creative)

J – JOY (have fun and foster joy and happiness)

E – EMPOWERMENT (foster learning and growth: personal growth, skills, capacity, and confidence)

Q – QUALITY (in processes and results: delivery of content, support provided to participants, learning, and musical and artistic products (songs & videos)
