Music Connects

In ethnically divided cities in Kosovo and Macedonia, two Dutch and three local cultural organizations work together to actively engage youth (ages 15 to 24) in bringing back a shared urban youth culture. Their innovative approach to activating youth and building sustainable alternatives for social inclusion and participation consists of state-of-the-art rock music education, production and promotion, with young musicians leading the way.

Three local schools work in ethnically segregated environments and are at different stages in integrating their activities to include all ethnic groups.

The project brings educational innovation and specific training in band coaching, songwriting coaching and sound engineering. By bringing youngsters together to play in music bands they establish friendships and overcome prejudices, thus creating trust among the ethnically divided groups.
