Description
In a world of diversity where often values clash, music leaps across language barriers and unites people of quite different cultural backgrounds. The POMELO project intends to improve the effective integration practices between migrant and local youths in the EU community using music to foster a multicultural enhancement path. POMELO is an answer to the need for effective integration practices for migrant youth.
Through these practices, they and other local youth are afforded equal voice and the opportunity to grow together through reciprocal multicultural enhancement. Is foreseen a Seminar for instructors, volunteers, youth workers, youth organizations staff and social workers dealing with local and migrant young people. The seminar (Short-term joint staff training events) will be focused on testing the training materials and non-formal methodologies developed under the IO1, IO2 and IO3.
Roundtables will be an opportunity to present and discuss Intellectual Outputs and share them with participants. Important aspect of roundtable will be to discuss development of O2 in order to meet real needs of the Youth and Social Workers, youth organizations, Instructors and Volunteers.
