PROJECT
FINISHED
The city of Grenoble (the Management of international and European actions and of youth affairs) has made it one of its missions for several years to encourage youths active in cultural social facilities to elaborate European exchange projects (such as ‘projet Regards Croisés- ‘the crossing paths project’), which permits them to explore new European cultures during the summer. The axis of intercultural encounters is essential for the experience gained and also for the culture of peace that it promotes.In addition, the city of Grenoble wishes to be at the heart of a similar project. The general objective of this project is that in bringing awareness amongst the youth about the wealth and diversity of cultures, they will be more open-minded and accepting of the world beyond their boundaries and at the same time fight against racism, xenophobia and defend the values of peace, mutual assistance and mutual understanding. Tolerance is only possible if the fear of the other or the unknown is abolished, thus meetings between youths of different nationalities, cultures and religions are fundamental. In total 9 countries are concerned by this exchange, but only 7 are eligible for the KA1/Exchange of youths: France, Germany, Lithuania, Israel, Tunisia, Austria and Armenia. The two other countries are Burkina Faso and Japan. These two countries were maintained in the project for their intercultural (Africa, Asia) and musical appeal. This partnership layout was presented to the Erasmus+ agency/ youth, who raised no objections. The participants are a group of young amateur musicians. 28 musicians and 6 accompanists will be the operators of this project excluding the Burkinabe and Japanese musicians who are not mentioned in this summary. The project will be the culmination of a real work of creation accomplished by the youth within the musical workshops underpinned by an original work process or procedure: new groups of musicians will be established based on its cultural diversity. The musicians within these groups (mixed nationalities) will be brought to rewrite and also make original music pieces. The creation or rehearsal workshops will take place from the 30th of June to the 08th of July 2016; with the support of an artistic director: Pierre FEUGIER, professional guitarist. The performance, which will be presented on the 9th of July during an open air free public performance on a platform in Grenoble, will be the fruit of an artistic and cultural exchange between youths, ‘regard croisés’ (crossing paths) of one culture to another. Everyone will bring to the creation a little bit of himself / herself, culture and perception of the others culture.
