Music Meets Culture III
Start date: Aug 1, 2014, End date: Nov 30, 2014 PROJECT  FINISHED 

"Music Meets Culture III" is a 9-day-youth-exchange that will be held in Lithuania between German, Lithuanian and Polish youth. It has been already more than a decade that a European East-West youth network exists, and 3 years ago (in 2010) a Lithuanian NGO - "Youth Initiative Group" - became a part of of this network. In the framework of the network, every year in one of the network's member countries a common meeting for the youth is being held on the chosen topic. In the last 2 years the topic of these meetings is multiculturalism and music. In 2011 the youth exchange "Music Meets Culture" happened in Germany (Dusseldorf), in 2012 - in Poland (Poznan), and this year this youth exchange is intended to be held in Lithuania. The main aim of the youth exchange "Music Meets Culture" is to create a space for young people from different countries to get to know each other and to develop the understanding of multiculturalism, tolerance and European citizenship employing the art of music as a means to achieve this aim. During the exchange, the youth from four participating countries will get acquainted with the musical heritage of each other's country, together will participate in workshops on the following topics: folk music, national music instruments in modern music, unconventional instruments; besides, the participants will split into smaller international groups and will create their own music oeuvres employing the knowledge and skills already possessed as well as the newly gained ones. All their musical creations (either absolutely "fresh" ones, or created on the basis of existing ones) will be presented to the public during the final event of the project and also their recordings will be freely available on the Internet.
