By taking part in ‘Music and Culture’ Youth exchange, the participants learnt that even though we all come from different backgrounds, and have different social norms, habits and beliefs, we must find understanding and respect among each other. In fact, our human world is a mixture of people where each of us is biased with our own outlook on the world in which we reside. Thus, getting in touch with other cultures different from ours makes us understand ourselves better and appreciate cultural differences. Being interculturally competent represents a huge asset for both personal and professional life of people today. Therefore, the main goal of the project was to promote understanding and collaboration between countries and cultures using music, dances and other artistic forms as a tool for breaking down barriers between young people from different backgrounds. Given that, we want to show young people coming from different parts of Europe that they can combine their cultures, backgrounds and talents and create something unique with mutual effort. The project’s objectives were the following: to explain different approaches and perspectives in culture, as well as to exchange experiences and practices; to provide opportunity for intercultural dialogue and to strengthen respect for cultural diversity; to transform participants’ musical experiences and to learn a variety of techniques to develop creatively; to give advice about active youth involvement and to promote social inclusion through non formal education, music and performance; to raise awareness among the local community about the importance of respecting cultural diversity; to empower participants to become more active in their daily life and to use their time qualitatively and usefully; to encourage their talent and build their confidence; to promote the Erasmus+ Programme and non-formal learning. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid02Mjy5PntBsaEYKqRqEzECp52U21cKoQYnJxTjzwABnBovryfKpVanANfPJ3mPSQfol&id=100064335692210 - Social media posts by partners: https://www.facebook.com/NextGeneration4You/posts/pfbid0M4EafGM47i8zsfPEWs9LECFhT3mA9wbDfxJNzarQ8KaYkCH3MMLJPdbkvGdJJ93Cl - Article posted on webpage by partners: https://nextgeneration.com.mk/4235/ - https://www.instagram.com/p/Cqd7ZqGoq8d/?igshid=ZTE2MDY0MWU%3D - Social media posts by partners: https://www.facebook.com/NextGeneration4You/posts/pfbid0M4EafGM47i8zsfPEWs9LECFhT3mA9wbDfxJNzarQ8KaYkCH3MMLJPdbkvGdJJ93Cl - Article posted on webpage by partners: https://nextgeneration.com.mk/4235/ - https://www.instagram.com/p/Cqd7ZqGoq8d/?igshid=ZTE2MDY0MWU%3D https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid0cVr9uKe6wHpevmvfeuBwqubiqfbJgf1i2tYWwUSUZLrnehU11LdPPiPcVkyGAiqil&id=100064335692210 https://fb.watch/jHW5d-09J-/?mibextid=RUbZ1f https://fb.watch/jHWbeqr_Ep/ https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid032vQpnuQdPNsuGBPAgVTG9vzwTqiv5QYyBnkShQ8MZto1YS4Ej9PnMYWMo3ndFMopl&id=100070127351038&sfnsn=mo https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid0dtmnZVu6rdkjz4Kp5kqBWutzwd6EuAYumyk7A6xgfn9BwWwigj5DYeHZxNsQmGicl&id=100085079717249&sfnsn=mo&mibextid=VhDh1V https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid08t4eJnweYHUi6VKz25t2krG9KqbAL36ecD3BR7GB7P619svGBwWgwUqN1ozgsDnCl&id=100064334305452&sfnsn=mo&mibextid=RUbZ1f https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid02BRAi3L2onD7dXEMj8qZubMd6epGoPJwTXK5CTxnTtxJfjKXFKoKYHuVJxozc5zjbl&id=100064334305452&sfnsn=mo&mibextid=RUbZ1f
