Jimmy Weinstein and Lilly Santon founded Travelling School in 2002 in Padova, Italy with the mission to teach jazz and improvisation as applied to general education. Many different projects grew out of this initiative. Drawing on their life in music and in association with other musicians, they create workshops at jazz festivals, music schools and regular schools.Over the course of twenty-two years since the founding of Travelling School, Jimmy Weinstein and Lilly Santon have developed a highly effective methodology for introducing concepts taken from jazz improvisation. These concepts can be applied to general and special education situations and dynamics. Today, their introduction to these creative and educational concepts takes the shape of their workshop: Building a Safe Creativity Environment.

Some of the points that will be outlined in this workshop could be:

1. Inclusion with the self: Self inclusion exercises (most evident when one feels embarrassed).

2. High Energy Encouragement: Positive high energy received in the moment of improvisation as a teacher. Real ability to improvise a class, and how to develop this.

3. Inclusion of conflict and disruption: Using disruption as catalyst for the improvising teacher applied in real life class dynamics.

4. The Concert Game: The game of the 30 second concert presented as a game for kids.

5. Listening to jazz pieces and transposing the emotion into a solo or interactive performance/concert.
