How can you contribute to the Network in your country?
We believe that our experience on working with communities through tradicional music, helping them connecting with there routs and with them selfs, can benefit this Network very much.

We believe that we are stronger when we are together. We live in an individual world where people live more and more apart, separated from there communities. This way of life promotes ignorance tours the other, promotes fear, promotes violence and discrimination. only though a divers and strong communities and network e can fight fear and ignorance and build a more inclusive society.
