In October 2010 started the pilot project, Vi slår på trummor inte på varann! The project was conducted under Utveckling Barn & Unga, which is collaboration between the Musik i Syd and the city of Kristi- anstad, in order to strengthen the children ́s and adolescents culture in the region. Slättängsskolan in Kristianstad was chosen as a pilot school and all students in grades 6 and 7 have participated in the project. The project ended with two concerts, one at the school and one at the Kristianstad Concert Hall. This thesis presents a contextualized evaluation of the pilot project, Vi slår på trummor inte på varann! anchored in three contexts: • Theory • Politics • Methodology These theoretical approaches include theories that are relevant to the evaluation of the project, Vi slår på trummor inte på varann! The pedagogical theories are related to learning processes regarding Art Education. Curriculum goals and values are also the basis for the evaluation. Methodologically I have used the method triangulation, a combination of methods, to evaluate the project in order to get a ”toolbox” of theoretical approaches for my future work as a cultural producer for children and young people. The results of the evaluation indicate that the majority of the students experienced the project as something good and something that they want to continue. Most positive were the students in 6:th grade. The students who thought it felt good to play drums were also more positive about the project as a whole. The most favorable of the project, according to the students, was the concerts. Concerts and media attention have revised the image of the school. Through the project, the school thus had something positive to gather around, which was one of the goals of the project. Based on evaluation results, I finally examined if the project, Vi slår på trummor inte på varann! can be regarded as a sign of a shift of paradigm in the perception of culture for children and young people in Sweden today.
