The MUSIC FOR YOUTH (MyPEACE) Project enables a peace building approach through empowering youth to be engaged in the peacebuilding process in a way that is attractive and close to youth, through the vessel of music.
MyPEACE will contribute to the much-needed peacebuilding process across Europe, by providing an innovative, forward- looking education approach to youth educators, enabling them to be the carriers of peacebuilding education including young people.
Young people need the future to be there for them. They need to be active in the present so that their future is bright.
While all the aspects of life today are lacking youth participation, not due to their fault, but because society needs to be more efficient in including young people: climate action, employment and economy, health and wellbeing and so on, one aspect is heavily missing in our strategies and has been even recently proven as crucial: youth participation in peacebuilding.
This roadmap will empower and motivate youth and peacebuilding stakeholders to engage young people in peacebuilding processes. To do this we will create MY PEACE methodology for youth educators, music and peace stakeholders.
To inspire change and showcase role models we will create My PEACE COMPENDIUM with 30 good examples of work in peacebuilding through music and youth peacebuilding.
The Music Production work package will create 10 tangible peacebuilding music sessions/ productions of diverse cultural song interpretations ensuring youth participation.
By this we will send peacebuilding messages to the public across Europe and ensure participation of all target groups.
A digital portal which will house custom content to support multimedia education on peacebuilding. It will also allow peer to peer engagement through interactive elements, and be a fun and engaging learning tool for our educational content within the project!
