The outreach project Talents of Federal Institute of Parana (IFPR), connected to the project Let’s sing a song? from the Academic Fellowship Program for Social Inclusion, motivates the interaction with Spanish and English Language through music. It aims to expand the contact, participation, learning and possibilities of identities. In its execution, students are selected during music presentations in classroom and they are prepared to sing in the Course Showcase, when the Federal Institute opens its doors for the community. In this study, besides the coordinators’ impressions, the participants’ voices are presented, collected by questionnaire. For students, it was an overcoming experience and it projected them as subjects able to do and to be in Spanish and English. Singing a song moved their identities from disbelief to belief, expanding possibilities of inclusion so that they could position themselves as part of and not apart from those languages.References
