RHYTHMS OF UNITY


Rhythms of Unity is an Erasmus+ Project that harnesses the transformative power of folk dances to promote social inclusion, peace-building, and cultural integration for migrant communities. Focused on fostering mutual respect and understanding, the project develops innovative tools and training for educators and social workers to leverage dance as a medium for integration. Our approach emphasizes not only the physical and emotional well- being of participants but also the broader goal of creating cohesive, inclusive societies through shared cultural practices.
