EURO-GIG
Where: Finland
When: 5-11.8.2016
Program Description: Our main goal is to bring youth together who love music from different
cultures and countries. We call this a Euro-GIG! We want to organize a musical event that
shows the backgrounds and cultures of the countries involved while sharing the love of music.
The event will be with and to the local youth and we will also stream a live concert in all the
youth´s participating countries. The group from Finland practices music in a performing art
school. What are we looking for you ask? We are looking for people involved in music in any
way, bands, or even individuals who would like to organize “workshops” of music and a
concert streamed live on the internet as stated before. The workshops will either be led by the
group leaders or even potentially the musically talented bands or individuals! Now what do we
want during these “workshops”? We want the bands or individuals involved to plan out and
have their very own performance. Our idea for this is to have the youth be able to work
together, but to also show off their very own musical talent and style. The concert will be
performed on the last day of the exchange in front of a live audience! We are hoping the
concert will show off the multicultural musical spirit between the youth. Anyone who fits this
description would certainly be welcome to join and to “make some noise” with their musical
talents.
