The months of the health crisis were an ordeal for the young people, with anxiety for their health and that of their loved ones, anxiety for their future and, above all, loneliness, de-socialisation, loss of their usual points of reference (both in their timetable and in their social and family circle), and for some, depression or addictions (screens, smoking, etc.). The return to a 'normal' life is difficult and requires a real effort to reach out to others, to believe and reinvest in one's life and life projects. The objective of these two youth exchanges was, at the beginning, mainly turned towards this re-socialisation: Living together again is an emergency both for Europe and more generally for the society of tomorrow. More than ever, Ballade wants to be involved as a bridge between cultures to build the future, to connect young Europeans from here and elsewhere through music from elsewhere and here. Unfortunately, this post-health crisis has been accompanied by wars adding trauma to these young people, causing the displacement of many young Ukrainians far from their families, now young Armenians in a climate of tension reviving atavistic hatreds, reminding young Bosnians of similar events, not yet healed, in their country. The specific objectives of the Pastoral Symphony project were -a return to nature, to the freedom to breathe -inclusion -and, in a nutshell, to bring life and youth to the village of Gresse en Vercors, which was hit hard by the epidemic. The Imagine project touched a more delicate point: by bringing together young musicians from Ukraine, Armenia, Bosnia and Alsace we could not avoid tackling the subject of war. We preferred to approach it through 2 questions: -Can we forgive? Can we forgive the Nazi crimes and the incorporation of the "malgré nous"? Can we forgive the neighbour who became an enemy, the Muslim genocide, the Turks who shed the blood of the Armenian genocide and armed their Azerbaijani neighbour? -And can we do something about it? As an artist, can we, should we, and how can we commit ourselves to peace? These themes fit perfectly with the foundations of Ballade and our objectives as defined in our application for funding: building an inclusive society through music. Our main objectives as defined in our application for accreditation were 1° To give young people opportunities for inclusion through mobility: these 2 exchanges in France not only gave young Europeans the opportunity to open their horizons but also enabled us to include young people, particularly those from stigmatised minorities (migrants, asylum seekers, disabled people) from France/partner countries in a friendly, multilingual, international atmosphere which enabled them to feel free from stigmatisation. 2° Young people's commitment: For these young people who, because of these traumatic events, have anxiety about the future/financial difficulties and a traumatic present or past, it is essential to encourage a commitment that will enable them to build social links and feel valued and useful, to regain confidence in themselves and in the future. This commitment was particularly discussed at the Imagine meeting, where it was one of the main themes. 3° To give these young musicians the desire to get involved with vulnerable people, to give them musical and social skills. The musical sharing of these meetings based on peer to peer learning, learning by ear by listening to each other, and the emotion shared on stage are assets for a future of artists who are not just turned in on themselves. 4° Our fourth objective is to make our actions and the ERASMUS+ programmes known and reknowned, and this has a particular echo in this small village, which is eager to meet and open up, but also with the tourists present in the summer and the 8,000 spectators at the Fête de l'Alpage, in front of whom these young people have performed in 2021 and 2022.
