CORDÃO is a musical creation project that brings together oncology patients and carers through collective singing. In weekly sessions, the group works on voice, listening and social interaction, developing a dynamic grounded in creativity and collaboration. With the main aim of combating social isolation among oncology patients and their carers, CORDÃO seeks to connect people, collectively stitching new ways of living with and understanding cancer.
