Transnational Project Meetings

EU Values Education Through Music

M1: Transnational Project Meeting in Berlin

In September 2022, the project coordinators from each partner organisation travelled to Berlin, Germany, to participate in an intensive, 2 day transnational project meeting.

The event was hosted and organised by Partner 1 (Germany), and was held at Tricone Studios,  located in the heart of the historic Funkhaus in Berlin. During the event, project partners were able to get to know each other in person, agree upon project management tools and procedures, as well as plan the next steps for the future. 

Over two days we went through all the topics of the project, including the planning of international events and developing project results. We loved joining our voices in collaboration and support for EU values like democracy, freedom, and equality.

In the evening, we recorded “We Will Add Many!” an original song about EU Values which we all wrote together. This is the very first Song for Change of the project: 

M2: Final Partners Meeting

The final partners meeting took place on the 9th and 10th of April 2024, in Brussels. The Belgian partners were the hosts of the meeting. During this two-day dynamic event, seven representative teams from the seven partner organizations took part in many activities that concluded and celebrated this amazing project. 

In the span of two days, the partners had the opportunity to discuss both group and individual reflections on what had been done over the two years of developing and working on the project. Some of the topics tackled were the future vision of Songs for Change, as well as the possible improvement points and strengths. Growing a global network proved to be one of our future priorities, and as a step closer to that, we visited JM International, another NGO that strives for change through music worldwide.

As a wrap-up and an ode to Songs for Change, all of the partners together recorded a self-written and produced rap song. With this celebratory event, everyone said goodbye to a fruitful and challenging project.
