Anthropology of heritage and transformative education

The anthropology of heritage, especially musical heritage, plays a pivotal role in transformative education by fostering personal and societal growth. Exploring musical heritage through an anthropological lens enriches the learning experience and promotes understanding of cultural, social, and historical significance. This approach cultivates empathy and appreciation for diverse cultures, encouraging students to become advocates for safeguarding and revitalizing endangered musical traditions. Interdisciplinary learning thrives as students draw connections between anthropology, history, sociology, psychology, and other fields. Ultimately, transformative education through musical heritage empowers students to contribute to a more inclusive and harmonious society, celebrating the richness of humanity’s cultural tapestry.
