Music Beyond Barriers - ALF in Motion Partnership

Thematic area: Arts

Language: English

25 February 2026 - Yunus Emre kültür Merkezi, Keçiören/Ankara, Türkiye

Hosted by ÖZEV (an ALF Türkiye Network member), the "Music Beyond Barriers" project was successfully implemented in Ankara between February 24-26, 2026. Supported under the "ALF in Motion" Partnership Mobility program, this initiative united youth with mild intellectual and physical disabilities with international music and dance experts from Albania.

The mobility culminated in a spectacular inclusive concert at the Yunus Emre Culture Center. By sharing the stage, the Albanian experts and talented ÖZEV youth proved that disability is no barrier to artistic participation. The program also featured traditional Ramadan iftar dinners to deepen cross-border bonds. It aims to foster intercultural dialogue and empower marginalized disabled youth through the universal language of art, effectively breaking down societal stereotypes.
