- Title
Community music therapy with asylum-seeking and refugee children in Norway.
- Authors
Enge, Kaja Elise Aaslid
- Abstract
The article examines how community music therapy (CoMT) can be a support in the everyday life of asylum-seeking and refugee children living in a municipality in Norway. It presents the central aspects of CoMT, with emphasis on performative issues. Self-performance and performance of social systems are discussed in relation to three case examples. It is argued that these performative issues can contribute to fulfilling relevant needs in the lives of asylum-seeking and refugee children.
