Résumé

MusicWorks est une organisation à but non lucratif basée à Cape Town, en Afrique du Sud, qui offre un soutien psychosocial par le biais de la musique aux jeunes qui grandissent dans des communautés marginalisées. En Afrique du Sud, trois siècles de colonialisme ont ouvert la voie à l’apartheid qui a laissé un héritage de gaspillage, de népotisme, de corruption et d’oppression de la majorité des citoyens de notre pays. Son impact est encore visible aujourd'hui et les conséquences des défis politiques, sociaux et économiques passés et actuels ont conduit à la persistance de schémas de pauvreté, de gangstérisme, de chômage et de violence familiale endémiques dans des communautés telles que Lavender Hill, où se situe ce projet MusicWorks. Encourager et renforcer la résilience des jeunes au sein de cette communauté peut leur permettre non seulement de briser ce cycle, mais également de faire partie de la solution à mesure qu'ils deviennent des membres actifs de leur communauté et de la société en général. La théorie générative de Ebersöhn (2012) sur la résilience fondée sur les ressources des relations propose que, lorsque les individus utilisent les relations comme un moyen d’accéder aux ressources, de les lier et de les mobiliser, une écologie propice se dessine de manière à favoriser un ajustement positif dans un environnement largement exposé. S'appuyant sur cette compréhension socio-écologique de la résilience, cet article décrit le projet MusicWorks à Lavender Hill et examine des cas concrets de travail musical avec les jeunes et la communauté scolaire en général. L'objectif du projet est de co-créer des espaces musicaux où les jeunes et leur entourage peuvent accéder à des relations privilégiées.
