We live in a multicultural Europe. Each nation has its own unique musical treasures. Sing, play, and draw the music of your country. Share it with students across Europe.
We are all unique. Let’s feel united by music.

The online event includes the following that you are welcome to participate in:

  1. Folk songs, games, and instrumental music. This year, there is no predetermined song that we all have to perform. We can all be unique.

Please send the video to your country’s national coordinator until February 15th, 2024, and you will be visible across Europe.
