Thanks to its success, UJ4KIDS has earned a special place in the Festival’s architecture. It is a festival within the festival, focused on youngsters who are the true protagonists. It is a daily section (July 12-20) with an intense program of educational activities, workshops, recitals and entertainment. Fondazione Umbria Jazz started collaborating in 2018 with local authorities, public schools and private music schools to promote jazz music for each age group and its introduction in schools. This is how you educate the future audience and a new generation of musicians.
UJ4KIDS stands as a service and reference activity for public schools with musical orientation, music schools and professional associations, teachers, families, pediatricians and musicians. The declared intent is to make children and teenagers the protagonists of music events for once and show the results of the work done for years in our region through entertainment and dissemination: it is considered an instrument of cultural and social growth.
