RESONATE is a cluster-randomised crossover trial focusing on reducing school dropout rates and fostering belonging through co-created music-based activites, by combining music therapy (MT), psychology, and social sciences.
About 200 participants will be recruited in the area of Bergen, Norway. They will be randomized into the following intervention arms: group music activity followed by usual school schedule or usual school schedule followed by group music activity.
RESONATE is a research initiative with researchers from Norway, Finland, and Denmark, and cultural organizations, the project employs an interdisciplinary approach combining music therapy, psychology, and social sciences. By engaging pupils, teachers, and community stakeholders, RESONATE develops and implements music interventions that promote emotional well-being, social inclusion, and resilience. These interventions align with Norway's current national school curriculum (LK20) and are informed by evidence-based research, including studies from WHO and music therapy scholars. Activities such as music-making and listening enhance social interaction, self-expression, and emotional support-key factors in reducing dropout risks.
The project follows a co-creation process, ensuring that interventions are designed with direct input from pupils and educators. A mixed-methods research approach, evaluates the impact of music activities on pupil engagement and well-being. Findings will be shared with policymakers, educators, the school sector, and welfare services to develop a transferable model applicable to schools nationally and internationally.

De-identified curated data will be made available permanently in publicly accessible repositories (e.g. OSF.io) using FAIR principles (e.g. using digital object identifiers [DOIs]; open, non-proprietary data formats; clear, consistent meta-data, using international standards for data structure where available; and licensed for re-use through CC BY). To balance the needs of trial participants for protection of their sensitive health data (in accordance with informed consent) and the needs of the scientific community for data availability, we will follow the principle "as closed as necessary, as open as possible". Results summaries will also be posted at Clinicaltrials.gov after the project end.
