Music has always been a tool for freedom, integration and inclusion between nations, taking people on the same level, regardless of their cultural, social or ethnic background. Music is one of the best tools to break down any kind of barrier and, especially between youngsters, it is a very important key in the process of inclusion and integration in Europe and the world.
