• Considering how the project builds relationships through its collaborative approach
• Investigating and analysing children’s experiences of taking part in the European Opera Centre’s project
• Exploring the meanings that the project’s stakeholders derive from the project (the school’s staff and supporters, including parents, and the Centre’s team of facilitators)
• Looking at the learning derived from the project for the children and the adults involved.
