"Bounces for change". Community art with Basket Beat

The “Bots pel canvi” [“Bounces for change”] project seeks to help people grow as individuals by creating and learning music as part of a group, using the sounds of bouncing basketballs. This project allows people’s abilities to be recognised and appreciated in spaces in which the group, the body, participation and artistic expressions are the protagonists.


Following a successful project in 2018 which involved more than 200 young people from Manresa, the activities will be carried out between the winter of 2021 and the summer of 2022. These will include Basket Beat sessions with different entities and informal groups of people who want to become part of this personal and collective transformation that takes place across multiple phases.
The Catalan Basket Beat project, which was first launched in 2009 and which now runs in fifty cities in seven different countries (with an extensive network in European countries such as France, the UK, the Netherlands, Portugal, etc), will attend the preparatory workshops and the final meeting. There may be an international performance in Manresa in 2022. “Bounces for change” is an opportunity to promote personal growth and social cohesion through a fun and educational activity.
