Musicians without borders
Start date: Dec 25, 2013,
“Music is a universal language of mankind” – this phrase of Johannes Brahms has served as an inspiration to create a project that would reflect this peacemaking idea by means of music, culture and non-formal education. "Musicians without borders" is a project that creates a dialogue platform among families and youth from different ethnic groups by means of culture. We believe music has the quality of sending a message of peace and cooperation. The project, hosted by European students' forum - Tbilisi , will bring together 30 participants from the Eastern partnership countries Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan , Youth in Action programme countries: Hungary, Spain, Czech Republic for 8 days of trainings and cultural activities in Georgia. The activities of the project will take place in three Georgian cities:Tbilisi , but participants will have a opportunity to visit The first four days of the project will focus on training sessions for the participants on the topic of peace-building and conflict resolution. The participants will also experience Georgia's cultural heritage, will increase their knowledge on South Caucasus history and culture, with a particular focus on the factors and aspects of the conflicts existing in the area. Participants will take part in workshops and seminars on conflict resolution, as the project aims to build, maintain and expand a group of youth workers and active youth people for conflict resolution on the youth level. During the following days, the participants, consisting of musicians and active youth from diverse countries in the Caucasus and EU , will form musical groups and perform musical activities for Georgian locals and IDPs (Internally Displaced Persons) who have been affected by war and conflicts. If other languages are not applicable let music be a common language for peace building in Caucasus region.
