EVALUATION : what's next ?

25 may 2019 _ The end of the project cominig soon (august 2019). That's why we asked this question to our partners : " If we have to restart our project now, after 2 years of partnership, what we have to keep, to stop and to create, to improve our practices and our collective productions ? ". All the partners participated to this participative evaluation during M4 (transnational meeting 4) in Thessaloniki, on saturday, the 25th may 2019. Many lessons learned.

Let's dream ... together

The European project "Musiques Migratoires" has started in Thessaloniki with a drama workshop in which the boys and girls of the 5th grade of the 3rd Primary School of Intercultural Education of Menemeni participated. The school is located in Dendropotamos, an unprivileged area of Thessaloniki with low income and high unemployment, a neighbourhood where mostly Roma people live. To motivate them participate in the project we designed a drama workshop as a first approach to the theme. The drama work was based on the book "The magic pillows", written by the famous greek writer of children's books Eugene Trivizas. We played and talked about dreams and nightmares, things that protect and help us in order to sleep better. Maybe a fairytale? Maybe a song? Let's work on that and collect them !!!
