Main objectives were to strengthen both the capacity of project partners' staff and organizations and to promote the knowledge and skills of their target groups, practitioners of ICH , in parallel with the specific goals of the project: promoting more active community activities and the formation of a more inclusive society. The project has set up a European network of bagpipers, involving both the partner organizations themselves and practitioners of ICH, as well as other local and national level cooperation organizations. The project enabled people from very different European countries to work together, thus raising their awareness of Europe's common cultural heritage and strengthening their sense of belonging to it, as well as to their communities.
Traditional music is one of the most visibile and important part of European intangible cultural heritage (ICH). Cultural heritage is a value in itself that builds identities and sense of beloning to a region,country and part of the world, but, in addittion, the knowledge and practices accumulated through time have been used to make sustainable use of natural resources and minimize the impact of climate change. Traditional music has always been in people's lives and, compared to professional one, it in its various forms is available to everyone, regardless of abilities, skills, gender, ethnicity or religion. It promotes the inclusion of various social groups in society, including seniors, people with special needs, and addresses the issue of gender equality. The main needs that are being met during the project are to increase the competence of the staff of the organizations to work better with their target groups - bagpipe practitioners. As well as the need of learners - practitioners of ICH for quality training, masterclasses and other knowledge-raising activities, also exchange of views with like-minded people at the local, national and international levels.
