Project summary

The main objective of the project is to get young people to develop key skills for their future through creativity and the arts, in this case musical arts and crafts, since on the one hand they will be able to manufacture recycled instruments from waste all kinds, and on the other they will learn to play these instruments with basic notions of music theory so that they can get involved in projects related to music and culture. In addition, they will be trained with the knowledge, tools and skills necessary to empower them to verse and may be able to start their own entrepreneurship projects related to music and recycled instruments, as well as skills on dissemination of results, management of social networks, promotion of their projects and products and visibility of their creations through the creation of attractive and stimulating videos that get the maximum number of young people to reach out in a way that can create a multiplier effect. This way we will promote business education and social entrepreneurship activities using a raw material considered garbage today, so they will not need large investments of money to carry out their projects. In fact, in addition to promoting the reuse of waste and setting up their own businesses with them, they will also be helping the environment and collaborating to mitigate the effects of current consumption habits that lead us to use and dispose of without thinking about the consequences that this has. for the Planet. Last but not least, with this project, young people from various countries will create a community of recycled instrument artisans with whom they will make a series of connections after meeting during project activities, which will unite them in a very special way, as that they will not only share the artisan part of making recycled instruments, but also for the musical part they will have a unique connection that we hope will lead them to create their own projects, give each other support and share the successes and failures of their endeavors as world artisans of the music industry. The specific objectives are: 1. Enhance the entrepreneurial spirit of young people and empower them with the necessary training (theory, tools, skills) to start their own projects on recycled instruments. 2. Strengthen the capacities of youth and associated organizations in the field of digitizing entrepreneurial and creative activities in the artistic and cultural field. 3. Promote and offer opportunities for socio-labor integration and entrepreneurship among youth, especially among disadvantaged groups and at risk of exclusion. 4. Increase the capacities of associations and youth workers to disseminate, promote and make projects visible through current social networks, web pages and audiovisual material. 5. Create a European solidarity network of strategic alliances on art and culture that can lead to the creation of new projects, tools and resources available in open source. This project will have a positive impact at all levels. At the level of the participants, the developed and advanced digital competencies and the knowledge and skills for the development and management of the e-learning process will have a positive impact. E-learning as a process will have a positive impact on access to quality educational content, especially for young people with fewer opportunities. The impact of developed and advanced digital skills will be long-term, as the digitization of the youth sector will occur in the next few years, this project will provide an advantage and an opportunity for participants to train and lead their colleagues. The knowledge / skills / competencies developed will be long-term.

Background

Nowadays, human beings generate enormous quantities of waste, which leads to increased wear and tear on natural resources and a major problem in managing it. For this reason, it is necessary to give a second life to the waste we that we generate and that contributes to increase, even more, the ecological footprint that humanity leaves on the planet, reaching the end of some scarce natural resources and the end of some scarce natural resources and the sacrifice that is made with respect to the health of the earth to continue this overproductive maelstrom. Therefore, recycling and reuse of waste is one of the essential tools to act on production and it is vital that it is instilled in the new generations as a form of entrepreneurship. We believe that we need to change the "chip" of today's youth and make them understand that we cannot use and throw away the products we consume. In addition, music contains an integrating social component that expresses itself in an artistic way and manages to bring people together and generate an intercultural sum, capable to offer employment, environmental and integrating opportunities in any community.
