The Unifying Spirit of Music, youth exchange, Turkey 2022

“The Unifying Spirit of Music”; aimed to bring together 37 participants aged between 18- 25 from Turkey, Serbia, Poland, Romania, Spain and Lithuania. The participants (5 + one leader) lived together for 9 days and made music. Because music has a power to unite people, participants raised their awareness on folk music and other cultures.
Participants were informed about each other’s cultures, taking into account the EU values and Erasmus+ targets, and eliminating common known prejudices against another culture. Emphasizing the importance of multilingualism with different countries participants increased awareness of Europeanization and EU citizenship and tolerate different cultures.

Participants were together throughout the project. In this process, they learned about each other’s cultures, languages, music, playing techniques and dates to exchanged information with peer learning which is a productive learning technique. After all the participants presented their folk music, we had knowledge about the playing techniques of all cultures. In our jam session activities, participants were involved in the music they know with improvisation technique. In this way, all participants were able to play their instruments with each other harmoniously. Through this group work, they learned to be together and to live together.
