What?

Zarika Association is excited to share with you a wonderful youth exchange on the topic of music, which is hosted by our partner organization Cilento Youth Union. Welcome to “B.E.A.T. – Bridging Europe Across Tunes”.

The B.E.A.T. project has as its main objective to promote social inclusion, intercultural dialogue and active participation among young people living in rural areas through music and artistic expression. The project aims to counter prejudice, stereotypes and forms of social isolation that can emerge in territories where opportunities for cultural exchange and international encounters are limited. 

By creating a space for collective artistic creation and European cooperation, B.E.A.T. seeks to strengthen young people’s sense of belonging to a diverse and inclusive Europe, while demonstrating how culture can become a powerful tool for community building, mutual understanding and rural revitalisation. Through a residential artistic experience, participants will be encouraged to use music as a common language capable of connecting different cultures, fostering creativity and transforming rural areas into spaces of dialogue, participation and opportunity.

Why?

The methods used duringthe exchange activities will be related to non-formal education and will include:

• icebreakers;
• workshops and groupwork;
• team building;
• debates on cultural values;
• screening and evaluation of musical traditions;
• cultural workshops;
