Through the implementation of the accreditation project, which was laboriously named "Let's sing it loud!" we aimed to contribute to the holistic development of young people from Poland and Bulgaria in an extracurricular form of education. The key objective was to organize a mobility during which young people would exchange their experiences, deepen their knowledge of other European countries, and, through the implementation of dance and music activities, raise important topics for modern Europeans, including tolerance, human rights, respect for other cultures and nationalities, among others. The specific goals of the project were: - to increase participants' creativity, self-reliance and self-esteem; - to develop the participants' linguistic, social, cultural and interpersonal skills; - increase participants' knowledge of European countries, their cultures, traditions, customs, lifestyles, European values, as well as European projects, - Increase participants' knowledge of respect for human rights, equality, tolerance, attitudes and values, - Increasing participants' intercultural awareness; - increasing knowledge of alternative leisure activities and increasing skills in communicating important issues through art - singing and dancing; - Establishment of international contacts by participants; - increasing motivation among participants to continue participating in non-formal education in the future.

Young people raised their level of knowledge and knowledge of other cultures of European countries. The project also allowed them to establish international contacts that will bear fruit in the future educational and professional life of the participants.

The activities planned during the exchange created an opportunity to find common values with other people coming from abroad, enabled mutual exchange of experiences by undertaking musical and dance activities together. Mobility improved the participants' awareness of socially important information, raising issues of tolerance, human rights through dance and singing. Participants were eager to share their knowledge, skills. Dance and music activities carried out independently by the participants were a pretext for learning about each other's history and a prelude to discussions on similarities, differences, expectations set, the culture of communication. Both dance and music bring people together and allow to overcome barriers related to language, shyness, differences, allow to find similarities between people from different countries. The main theme of the mobility also showed the young people that it is possible to spend leisure time and address important topics through art - dancing and singing.
