ROMANI MUSIC IN EUROPE :

We would like to invite you in our Action ERASMUS Plus project proposal named"ROMANI MUSIC IN EUROPE'' We expect 4 participants perfoming Romani Music and dance and 1 leader (no age limit) from each organization. Below you will find a summary and aims of the project .

There is a strong tradition of the Romani Music in Central and Eastern Europe. Original Romani Folk songs are rare. This particular folk music is mainly vocal and consists of slow plaintive songs and fast melodies which may be accompanied by dancing. 

Most Romani music is based on the folk music of the countries that the Romani people crossed or where they settled. Local music is adopted and performed - usually instrumental - and, slowly, it is transformed into Romani styles, which are usually more complex than the original styles. 

Our project is for encouraging the young people of the partners' districts to develop the Romani Music by the Roma Youngsters and make them aware of the differences and similarities of the Romani music affected by Local music.

Our project will inform young people on the musical instruments used in Romani music, which vary from country/ district to country/ district. The project is against intolerance and racism in the participants' countries. There will be a strong focus on difficulties faced by Roma youth in these countries. The project is a response to the racism experienced by young Roma people in the EU and neighboring countries. 
The activities in the project aim to develop social inclusion and intercultural learning of Roma youth from different cultural, local and religious backgrounds. 
As far as the development and implementation of projects are concerned, this means that young people participating in the project should become aware of its intercultural dimension as a tool for social inclusion. Intercultural working methods will be used to enable project participants to participate on an equal basis. 

If you feel eligible to take part in the project with Roma artists, please send the PIF (Partner Identification Form to this e mail : halil_21@hotmail.com or contact us for more info!
