The project „You(th) FOLK the city!” had the aim to raise the interest of youngsters in traditional dance, to use artistic practice as a springboard towards social inclusion of youth and community cohesion. It aims to provide young participants with skills in the field of traditional dancing and artistic expression, to promote the folk traditions in the urban area.
