dc.description.abstractThe aim of this study was to gain a deeper understanding of how transdisciplinary work between the arts and social work could lead to practices that support social inclusion. Considering the COVID-19 pandemic, the study also explored how the theoretical framework of the social dimensions of making music together could be facilitated in an online environment. A qualitative research approach was employed, supported by exploratory and descriptive research designs. Non-probability purposive sampling was used to identify undergraduate student social workers who voluntarily participated in an online video production project. Eighteen students from the University of the Western Cape (South Africa) and the Protestant University of Applied Sciences (Germany) participated in the project. The project was facilitated by the transdisciplinary work of the researcher, a social work educator, and a music educator. Data were collected prior to and after the completion of the project through written individual reflections and focus group discussions, which were then analysed thematically. The criteria of credibility, transferability, dependability and confirmability assisted the researcher in ensuring the trustworthiness of this study’s findings. Ethical considerations adhered to included voluntary participation through informed consent, as well as careful attention to privacy, confidentiality, and anonymity, along with the management of data.
