The Project

Intercultural education develops skills for community life within all participants, seeing cultural diversity as a positive asset. The MORE project seeks to encourage innovative initiatives in the field of music education based on the intercultural potential of the range of traditional musics active in Europe – traditional music is an essential tool of intercultural education  because it is key signifier of cultural identity, is open to external influences and its practices are highly collective.

Several European institutions have come together to share experiences and develop new models of practice. Two symposia and a closing event will report on current research into trans-cultural music practices and innovation in educational methods. Action research will be carried out at two summer schools in the form of workshop targeted at young people and teachers exploring music education from and inter-cultural perspective.
