Youth in Music stood as a European space for education and inclusion aimed at people with fewer opportunities due to geographical, economic and cultural barriers. The aim of the Exchange was to create a community that, through the development of specific skills related to English language development and music, learnt to collaborate, communicate and overcome barriers of prejudice, stereotype and cultural barriers, with the aim of rediscovering themselves as members of a single, close-knit group. The ludo-pedagogical activities that were put into practice in the project took us back to one of the most ancestral forms of community: music and rhythm. This project proposed a model that created a real transformation in the social relations of a community, such as the possibility of cultural production in a collective mode, through artistic experiences that emphasise music in particular, with the end result of cultivating a community capable of collectively constructing, in just a few days, a unique event, "Concerto Improvvisato" in which the local population of the host village, Capranica, were also involved, together with the nearby village of Vejano. Collaboration, creativity, and active participation by each individual participant were of paramount importance for the success of the project. The project aimed to cultivate in everyone the awareness of being able to design their own future. Youngsters’ participation were active, both as main actors in the work and by assuming collective roles and responsibilities useful for the development of the project. In "Youth in Music", rhythm and improvisation became the tools through which the skills, relationships, and roles necessary for collective construction were developed, to transform a group of people into a group of artists that took care of its compositional framework. This is why we created and developed, together with the partner associations, strategies to not only achieve collective goals, but also to reach the maximum potential of each member, passing through meaningful experiences that highlight the importance of putting individual interests at the service of the collective interest. An indispensable step in this process was the 'deconstruction' of the prejudices that each individual carries. We worked on the development of new musical techniques, allowing participants to discover a new way of making music that they had never experienced before: improvisation, at the basis of which was listening to others, recognising and respecting their musico-personal space, and the harmonious personal interplay of elements that, combined, went to create a work of ensemble, the final result meant as the union of the sounds of each one, each one different and each one of inestimable personal value, which intersected and completed each other. Musical discipline and the deepening of improvisation allowed us to work on three fronts: 1 the inclusive and cooperative dimension of a cohesive community that helped to communicate and live together with respect for its members, the community as a whole and the surrounding environment, equipping itself with community rules that were useful for everyone's well-being and complement the international and democratic dimension of the Exchange. 2 breaking down shyness, the ability to get involved, overcoming geographical and cultural barriers, taking on shared responsibilities; 3 youth entrepreneurship. In fact, by introducing participants to collective improvisation techniques, we provided them with new innovative tools for teaching and conducting music, thus offering them an opportunity to work with it. During the various activities of the Exchange, we focused on a working method that included sharing our own feelings, confrontation and self-assessment skills that enhanced the process of becoming aware of the competences developed and that took place using the YouthPass tool. One of the central themes of the Exchange was the Nature, to which specific moments were dedicated, both for sharing good practices that safeguard the environment, and for creating new musical instruments from discarded materials, in order to learn how to breathe life into things whose life is only apparently over, thus doing Nature a huge favour. Through creative recycling, in fact, we created new tools that were given to the local population, with whom we created an intense collaboration, so as to also strengthen the relationship with the territory.
