Profile

Related to: - [l=Rädda Barnen] - [l=Rädda Barnen Malmöförbundet] Rädda Barnens Musik Project (also known as RBMP or IV-music) was an alternative education for those students who had difficulties to attend a regular school. Young adults between 16-19 years old who didn't have enough grades from compulsory school were able to go to this school to create music while they at the same time were studying mathematics, Swedish and English. The music was an important part to get this kids motivated to go to school and each year the school released a cd with music recorded by the students at this school. The school was founded in 1992 and were active in Malmo, Sweden for 19 years and during these years 19 the school released 19 albums, 1 soundtrack album and one compilation album. However after 19 years Malmo education board decided that they couldn't continue to run a school based on a one year education mostly about inspiration. And just math, Swedish and English weren't enough as the new rules said that the school had to offer eight base subjects so the education could lead to high school qualifications and work. This school was highly praised and noted in several documentaries for helping kids, with non-approved grades and with the risk of ending on the outskirts of society, to get motivated and to create and learn. After the years in Malmo the project moved to Landskrona but after just one year it was decided to close down the project due to economic reason
