“Inclusion through Fusion” is a 12 months strategic partnership in the field of youth project that involves six organizations from different European countries (Croatia, Cyprus, Germany, Italy, Portugal and Spain) that exchange their good practices and work for promoting the inclusion of the most disadvantaged groups through musical fusion and artistic creation, being art as a tool for social development and inclusion.

The main objectives of the project are:
– To improve key competences of young artists belonging to ethnic minorities and/or migrants with the aim of socially transforming their communities;
– To exchange and develop new educational tools in order to raise awareness about the inclusion of ethnic minorities and immigrants of the participating areas and countries, through musical fusion;
– To promote a higher quality of youth work, focusing on the inclusion of young people with fewer opportunities, fostering internationalization of work on these topics;
– To create an international network of organizations that use art as a tool of social transformation, inclusion, and integral development, with the aim of promoting cooperation and exchange of good practices among organisations of programme countries.

During a training Co-funded by the Erasmus+ programme of the European Union in Malaga, Spain with participants from the 6 countries, we developed some workshop tools regarding tot he ITF Partnership. Some oft them called  „Expand Your Life Art as educational tool“ or „Who´s shoes are that? Inclusion and social transformation trough music fusion“  We tested the workshops in five ocasions.

The Result and the evaluation of all countrys will be discussed at the final conference of the project in November in Lissabon, Portugal. We will keep you updated.
