Project Summary

Today’s world has never been in more need of harmony and understanding: not surprisingly, Europe needs to be united in its promotion of freedom and peace as it faces the challenges of Brexit and nationalistic-leaning politics, the Coronavirus, and relations with neighbouring powers. The youth of Europe represent the future: their voice of today will be the democratic electoral voice of tomorrow.

Our project is inspired by our heartfelt wish to make connections across the continent, to bridge cultural divides, and to express the instinctive desire of young people to make friends across borders by expressing themselves personally and culturally. By bringing together young people from Lithuania, Spain, Poland and Germany, we aim to create a dramatic and musical expression of European harmony via a multi-media/arts performance to inspire future generations.

The benefits to students stemming from this holistic, project-based learning will lead to improved communication skills, community connections and understanding, language proficiency, engagement in the political process both internationally and locally, and an enhancement of critical thinking abilities.

To reiterate, this project aims not only to develop, but rather to empower Europe’s youth to increase their engagement in the political process across the European continent. It will be a pivotal turning point in their adolescence as they learn and use another language, adopt an intercultural identity and build their confidence by learning transdisciplinary and with relevance!

Each school brings not only its innate enthusiasm to realise the project goals, but on a practical level also various artistic specialisms such as recording studios, access to stage and performance space, music teaching prowess, translation capabilities from multilingual students, and digital music production. All this will come together in the spring of 2022, when we aim to perform our chef d’oeuvre in Strasbourg, one of the historic centres of the European project.
