Spread the word, sing with us!
This project encourages young people to use music as a tool to express themselves and their ideas. The participants will go through a series of non-formal based activities.
The activities will take participants back in time and allow them to grasp how music developed through the years and peek into the influence of music within their daily lives. Participants will craft their own instruments and use them to take part in an international jamming session. The crafted instruments will allow ALL participants to be able to take part in the jamming and perform with the others for the rest of the project regardless if they have any prior musical skills.
Participants will explore the concept of a cover song, after which they will prepare, rehearse and perform some of the timeless classics in their own style. International bands will be formed according to interest (musical genre, topics willing to address) and the participants will write down their own lyrics and melody and put them together into author songs. These songs will address current European issues viewed through the eyes of participants. After a lot of rehearsing, the bands will do a public performance followed by a jamming session of an open character.
The project will culminate with a street performance in Luxembourg city, 21 June, where the young people will hit the streets of Luxembourg and do a series of street performing to celebrate ‘Fete de la musique’ together with local musician and music enthusiasts.
In line with the Erasmus+ requirements, the whole project’s general objectives are:
-to raise participants’ understanding and knowledge in the field of music;
-to facilitate the process of exchanging personal experiences through non-formal education activities connected to music in general;
-to familiarize youngsters with music as a form of expressing themselves.

Human rights education is defined as the learning process that builds up the required knowledge, values, and proficiency of human rights of which the objective is to develop an acceptable human rights culture.
According to Amnesty International, Human Rights Education (HRE) is a way to empower people so that they can create skills and behavior that would promote dignity and equality within the community, society, and all over the world.
As Europe has become culturally diverse as a result of migration, how human rights are taught in intercultural societies is of utmost importance. It is necessary, that youth are enabled to develop a respect for their own cultural identity and values of others. Most common approach towards HRE is dogmatic, but different cultures interpret human rights in different ways.
