Young people and music form the focus of the 50th Study and Advanced Training Program launched in Concesio by the Opera per l’educazione cristiana.
Applications for the program remain open until November 20, 2026, as reported by Diocesi di Brescia.
The program is taking place at the Centro Studi dell’Istituto Paolo VI, located at via G. Marconi 15 in Concesio (BS), with support this year from Cassa Padana Bcc, alongside contributions from Fondazione della Comunità Bresciana, Fondazione Tassara, and Congrega della Carità Apostolica. The concluding test is scheduled to be held at Canossa Campus on Via San Martino della Battaglia n.13 in Brescia.
This year’s course aims to analyze the various levels of the relationship between youth and music, highlighting its psychological, sociological, and cultural implications. Organizers state that the curriculum demonstrates how this relationship shapes personal and collective identity, youth growth, and the understanding of contemporary generational dynamics.
The course also provides advanced, interdisciplinary training regarding music as an inclusive language and a space for dialogue with other arts, specifically visual arts and architecture.
For the 2026/2027 school year, the Opera has announced 40 research awards worth €800.00 each, alongside a special €1,000.00 research award dedicated to the memory of Monsignor Giuseppe Cavalleri, who served as vice president of the Opera per l’Educazione Cristiana. These awards are designated for students in the final three years of secondary high schools throughout Brescia and its province.
